"Terpsichore" is the name of a collection of dances that contains over 300 songs arranged and compiled by Praetorius from the classical dances passed down from France to the German court in the early 17th century (1612). Even today, 400 years later, the collections have been featured in various forms. The name "Terpsichore" comes from the goddess of dance "Terpsichore" among the nine Muses in Greek mythology.
