This article appears in Volume V11, Page 539 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GAVOTTE (a French word adopted from the Provencal gavoto) , properly the
dance
  of the Gavots or natives of Gap, a
district
  in the Upper
Alps
 , in the old
province
  of
Dauphine
 . It is 'a
dance
  of a brisk and lively
character
 , somewhat resembling the
minuet
 , but quicker and less stately (see DANCE); hence also the use of this name for a corresponding
form
  of musical
composition
 .
