Susato: Danserye (1551) A Selection of Six Pieces - double reed quartet

Tielman Susato composed 60 dances in his Danserye, composed in 1551.

I have selected a cross section of pieces to give a feel for the different styles of music.

My arrangement for double reed quartet comprises the following:

(oboe 1/2, cor anglais, bassoon)

Bass Dance La morisque

Pavane 1 (Mille Regretz)

Basse Dance No. 2 (Bergerette Sans Roch)

Allemaingne 3

Galliarde 10 (Mille Ducas)

Ronde 5 (Wo bistu)
