Dances from Terpsichore

Michael Praetorius (probably 28 September 1571– 15 February 1621) was a German composer, organist, and music theorist.  He was one of the most versatile composers of his age, being particularly significant in the development of musical forms based on Protestant hymns.

(Terpsichore in Greek religion is one of the nine Muses, patron of lyric poetry and dancing.)
