Twelve Dances from "The Danserye"
I think it is good to revisit the history of music and appreciate where it all came from. Renaissance music is not commonly heard today, but there is a great modern transcription of several dances from the middle 16th century that keep to performance practice quite well. The original was written by Tielman Susato, who was one of the first composers to write music at the depth that we hear today.
They can be found being performed by the North Texas Wind Symphony on their CD Homage.
