“Ballet des Coq,” from Dances of Terpsichore (arranged 2019), for winds & brass in 10 parts, plus percussion

Apparently named in honor of a very spirited rooster (a Renaissance chicken dance?), this rousing dance is among the more than 300 instrumental dances published in 1612 by the German composer Michael Praetorius.  Moderately challenging, about 2:15. The percussion part can be divided between 2 players if desired. $15 for score, parts and demo in this instrumentation; If you’d like a transcription, write to me at newertunes@hotmail.com before ordering and list your instrumentation; I will quote a very moderate charge for your transcription.
