There needs to be a radio station for medieval court dances
-
Used for the opening scene of Ken Russell's film "The Devils".
-
That first Bouree was used as the bridge in the Fifth Estate's hit version of Ding Dong, The Witch Is Dead.

what a pity that we dont have information of portuguese music in that time... its because when I hear this it came images of portugal empire in medieval times dont know why, my mind always associated with portugal, maybe because its very similar sound with some portuguese instruments.

No, the 2nd tune is Volte CCX. Originally a compound of two pieces, but both by Vincenzo Galilei (1584). But a real superhit at these times, which became so popular, that the music can even be found in Austrian folk-dances ! For other versions see under: Vincenzo Galilei, Suite resp. Saltarello, also under William Byrd, La Volta. (Fitzwilliam virginal Book #158)

This is my favorite tune from Praetorius' Terpsichore.

Big Michel P. drops the hammer: Hypnotic melodies pulsing with juice, bear-trap counterpoint. Fresh, frisky, enthralling.
