Dances from Terpsichore

By: Praetorius arr David Purser

Scored for 4 trumpets • 1 horn • 4 trombones • 1 tuba
This set includes additional parts for horn in Eb, trombones in treble clef and Eb bass.

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.
