Description
SKU: A0.1284416
Composed by Michael Praetorius. Arranged by Dan McCoy. Baroque,Chamber,Early Music,Folk,Renaissance. Score. 3 pages. Dan McCoy #875587. Published by Dan McCoy (A0.1284416).Ballet des Coqs, or "Rooster Dance", is from a collection called Terpsichore, which is a compendium of more than 300 instrumental dances published in 1612 by the German composer Michael Praetorius. In his introduction, Praetorius takes credit for arranging the music rather than composing the tunes.
The collection is based on French dance repertoire of the time and contains some notes that relate to instrumentation. However, Praetorius does not specify which instruments should play particular parts. This was one of my favourite Praetorius pieces, and so I transcribed it in order that it might be played at the keyboard without having to read the original publication with its five parts, varied clefs and difficult notation.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
