UPC: 078777089474. 9 x 12 inches.This suite of seven Renaissance dances is an arrangement for organ by David A. deSilva of selections from Tylman Susato's 1551 publication Het derde musyck boexken . . . alderhande danserye, a collection of popular tunes arranged by Susato as dance pieces in four parts to be played on diverse instruments. The seven dances included are intended to serve as a third, complementary suite to the previously published collection The Danserye: Two Renaissance Suites for Organ (Order No. 97-7398). While the suite may be played in its entirety, an individual movement will serve well as a pre- or post-service selection and as a processional or recessional.Tylman (Tielman) Susato (c. 1510- after 1570), instrumentalist, composer, and music publisher, was likely born in Soest, Germany, a town not far from Koeln, although he spent the majority of his career in Antwerp, Belgium. Active as a town instrumentalist, playing sackbut, trumpet, crumhorn, flute, and recorder, he is most famous as a music calligrapher and publisher. He published nearly sixty books of music, including the works of such composers as Josquin des Prez (c. 1450 - 1521), Jacobus Clemens non Papa (c. 1510 - 56), and Orlande de Lassus (1532 - 94). Delightful pieces . . . each charming in its own right, they would make fine repertoire for worship, weddings, and teaching purposes.-CrossAccent, Fall/Winter 2015
