Dance Suite Michael Praetorius

Terpsichore is a collection of over 300 instrumental dance pieces by Michael Praetorius. There were no instruments specified on the score so, as a result, these pieces have been performed by many combinations of woodwind, brass, and string instruments over the years. Four of these short pieces have been selected and orchestrated here for clarinet quartet and optional percussion. (7:20)
