Another famous tune... the "ground" (chord progression) of Bergamasca, here in the version of the French lutenist Nicolas Vallet (but we can also say Dutch lutenist as he made his career in Amsterdam)
The title "les Pantalons" is a reference to the comedia dell' arte characters Polichinelle and other grotesque actors, dancing and fighting on the music of a Bergamasque.
