Three Renaissance Dances for Horn Octet by Tielman Susato Chamber Music - Digital Sheet Music

SKU: A0.817179

They may be 500 years old, but these three Renaissance instrumental dances from Tillman Susato's 1551 collection "The Third Little Music Book", prefaced with "to be played on all types of musical instruments", remain appealing music for audiences and performers. These lively, popular dances of the day feature homophonic setting, root position chords, primary beat stresses, and individual parts that encompass an octave or less which makes them very accessible for young or inexperienced musicians. Scoring them for antiphonal horn quartets creates a memorable aural and visual performance experience for performers and audiences and is a showcase for ensemble hornists. Alternate treble and bass clef euphonium parts are included for the lowest horn parts IV and VIII. See the four horn edition of the dances at Charles Decker Music Press as an alternative to this eight horn edition. The recording is of the complete arrangement.
