Program Notes

Tielman Susato (1500-1561) was an amateur musician who set himself as a printer and publisher of his, and other people's, music. It was from the Danserye, (1551), a set of dances, that these several dances have been selected and arranged. There was no indication on the original score as to the instrumentation, but Susato said, "The dances shall be pleasing and appropriate, to be played on instruments of all kinds."
