Praetorius - La Bourée - Paul Palmer Guitar

This is a bourée from Michael Praetorius' collection Terpsichore. If it sounds familiar, you may have heard it played in the middle and at the end of Fifth Estate's 1967 cover of Ding Dong the Witch is Dead (although faster and shriller than my guitar arrangement). This is very early Baroque music (about a hundred years before Bach), so it has a Renaissance flavor.

What a minstrel you would have made in days of yore, 16th ,17th century, do you every sing paul?, this quality of play would carry you as a favourite in any age, I think you really have achieved Immortality here on Youtube, it all certainly touches my heartstrings, i been mucking with one of your own early pieces "Beacon House Rag" and try to add lyrics at present i call it "pied piper on a guitar" i try it fom time to time i no it will come to gether someday, i am slowing down, cheers

You're still pretty speedy for someone who's slowing down - thanks for the Pied Piper video. I love it! I'm delighted to be together at last with you here on YT. I still sing all day long, but just for myself mostly - you can hear me from a way back on my videos of 'So Blue' and 'Trying to Run'. Thanks again, Thomas, and cheers!

Thank you, Elmar, for your visits and your comments! As I get older, my musical appreciation extends ever farther back in time. The lute music from the Renaissance is really enchanting. All the best to you and your students.

Hello Paul!

Very nice piece.

Unfortunately music epoch renaissance not so is often executed by guitarists.

Thanks you that you execute these pieces.
