Although the galliards, like the harp pieces, are printed in score, Trabaci says that they could also be played by an ensemble of viols or violins. He does not limit himself to the strict galliard measure, but alternates sections in dance rhythm with imitative writing.

Bien qu’imprimées en forme de partition comme les pièces pour harpe, les gaillardes pourraient, selon Trabaci, tout autant être interprétées par un ensemble de violes ou de violons. Loin de se borner à la stricte mesure de gaillarde, Trabaci fait alterner des sections en rythme de danse avec une écriture imitative.

Obwohl die Gaillarden wie die Harfenstücke in Partitur gedruckt sind, merkt Trabaci dazu an, sie seien auch von einem Gamben- oder Violinensemble zu spielen. Er beschränkt sich nicht auf den strengen Gaillardentakt, sondern wechselt Abschnitte im Tanzrhythmus mit imitativer Stimmführung ab.
