I have the Decca NY Pro Musica Renaissance Band recording. Each instrument is demonstrated individually and by consort. The consorts are then put together in selections from Praetorius' Terpsichore. If you would like to hear this recording please let me know/

The recording sounds familiar... one of David Munrow's or Fritz Neumeyer's recordings from the 60s? I bet I once had it on LP or tape. They're probably performed more with verve than with historically-accurate performance practice, with the large consorts of different instrument families trading off phrases. But they are a lot of fun.

Nope, it's Christopher Ball, actually. It's from an EMI recording originally, but this was taken from the rerelease on cd. Strangely enough, I can't find the year of production for neither the original recording nor this album.

[soulblacknight]

hi i just ordered a CD from Praetorius and Holborne from the "Regis" recordings off Amazon.. is this taken from that same Cd?

thank you!

[marsvltor2]

Easily the finest recording of the Praetorius - if I remember rightly it was recorded on a budget label of EMI, and, in my view, still remains jointly definitive (together with the more 'noisy' windcap recording by the New English Consort...)

[Jinglelegs]

This is wonderful life-affirming music and the piquant instrumental sounds are a delight. Impossible to feel gloomy when you listen to this music!

[2011WestPoint]

This music lifts the soul! Incredable! Thanks for posting!

A quienes gusten de Michael Praetorius, sugiero escuchen el grupo "Gentle Giant", perteneciente a la vieja guardia progresiva, lo mismo que a "Focus", de Thijs Van Leer y Jan Akkerman. No se van a arrepentir. Doy fe.

[monitonia]

this is very cool

[Elisabettina88]

Very nice...I'm fascinated!!!

[soundzok]

Only just discovered these. Wonderful!

[Nenamorut]

Yes, Praetorius is the Bach of early baroque Dancing!!

Kudos for uploading this music,

[suffiice]

Bach didn't write any dances?

[semicroma]

he (bach) wrote menuets for example

[marsvltor2]

Chack any Bach work entitled 'suite' - be it orchestral, for keyboard, or 'cello, or indeed the unaccompanied fiddle sonatas: almost every movement is dance based...

[Potatish]

I could've sworn I heard British Grenadiers in there... :P

[Zarataphs]

There certainly is a piece that's very similar to it. I've been thinking about that one too. ;)

[Searle8]

It is always nice to find people with abnormal intelligence when it comes to musical taste....and by Jove Praetorius and his Dances!!!...
