Description:
These works by Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) are written for string orchestra and/or recorders. The son of a Lutheran pastor, Praetorius composed numerous collections of Lutheran chorales and other liturgical works. He is largely known, however, for his collection of 312 dances, TERPSICHORE, MUSARUM AONIARUM QUINTA, published in 1612. Adolf Hoffmann edited this Kalmus edition of six of the four-part dance suites, of which this is the first volume. The second volume, A710602, is also available. Reprint edition. Instrumentation: Str (4-4-3-3-3) (and/or recorders).
