These sixteenth century dances need three trumpets who can double Eb or piccolo. Everyone doubles tambourine or drum and a flugel horn is required.
The 312 French dances in Michael Praetorius' collection entitled 'Terpsichore' comprised one volume of eight, the remainder of which have, sadly, been lost.
