Here's a video snippet of the dance we do to Branle des Chevaux...not
rocket science, but enjoyable.

[M: congrats. Good rhythm & flow, the best I’ve heard. But the  flattened 7^th is intrusive and unnatural (oops.  pun is accidental) and is not in the original! It’s awkward to sing, too. This is not 14^th cent plainsong , and even if it were..! the dance looks enjoyable, too.  M: end.]

Michael,

The flattened 7th IS IN Abeau's original version
See Orchesography pp 165-167 (Dover Edition)
Its scored in G with no F#s except for the penultimate note which Arbeau clearly marks as F# as a cadence
