The current British composer, David Bedford, used this as a theme in his 1970's LP "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Those who enjoy the opening piece here are urged to track that down....while you are at it, try to also obtain his LP or CD "Instructions for Angels"...
the rythm o the first part reminds me a lot of "overture to the sun" form clockwork orange soundtrack, and also of Rodrigo's axes dance from fantasy for a gentleman. both are two of my favourite pieces.
Anyone knows if there's a special name for this rythm?
@salroja Es una típica (y primitiva) pieza "alla turca": ritmo sincopado y percusión con tambores y cascabeles. La usó Lully en la archifamosa Marcha para la Ceremonia de los Turcos" y Mozart en su Singspiel "El rapto en el Serrallo".
Una vez un profesor de musica me ha dicho que cuando se habla de Susato, es muy probable que los tambores y sinos sean influencia de musica folclorica del norte de Europa, probablemente de origen normanda o vikinga.
A mi, cuanto a la forma que tocan a los tambores, me parecen realmente más nordico que turco, pero entiendo porque dices "a la turca", las marchas turcas tambien tienen eses elementos.
The Iowa All-State Band is actually going to be under the baton of the arranger of this piece. Go figure that we're also playing it. Thankfully, we're only doing movements 1,2,6,7, and 9.
slower? it is dance for goodness sake!! one of the best performances i have heard. early music sounds so good by wind ensemble or brass!! get up and dance people and drink some beer and brandy!!
A touch too fast for my taste. When my band played it, we kept trying to speed it up because we rush often, but I think it is better about ten to twenty bpm slower.
Rather interesting hearing it on modern instrumentation--however, what's not interesting is how straight it's played, with no ornamentation or variation. It should be played with a lighter touch, with more verve.
we have to play this is band u guys r awesome and i knew i was going the right tempo my conductor thinks were behind all the time but according to how fast u guys r going i'm doing it right^^ and anyways it sounds more musical going at ur tempo not like all sped up
Thohomahawk if you want to hear it in early instruments try the Two Renaissance Bands album by David Munrow release in 1975. The best and i dare say authentic arrangement of La Morisque.
You can gan get the CD from almost any clasical music shop and on line.
This is great. I never heard this from a wind orchestra of this size. Usually its performed by quintet. Regarding old instruments: As long as it is not performed by artificial sound generators, electr. guitar, keyboard, computer etc, this brass instruments are traditional enough in my opinion. Instruments from the 1500 are interesting, but the sound with modern brass instruments is better without question.
Early music versus modern instruments = enough recordings of the Danserye of Susato on early music instruments to accept once in a while a performance on modern instruments. Besides, modern composers made arrangements of this music too, Belgians for instance.
Oh to reply to the other comment on here, when this music was composed, the instruments weren't "early" :) Music is welcome whenever, wherever and however...
@Korea4Me - there is a lovely English expression "give it some wellie!" He certainly did.

Good job, but sounds very flat line-ish. Almost no phrasing. at least on the first movement. Great Balance I think though.

I prefer the music to be with traditional instruments such as the lute, thorbeo, etc

I think it sounds great played with brass instruments.
Where do I get a recording that uses "modern" instruments? I found one online by Pickett, 1991. But I think this sounds nicer.
Any suggestions?

Good version, although I must point out that early music is supposed to be played on early instruments.
