HAUSSMANN, Valentin (~1560-~1612)
Haussmann. Five Paduans and Galliards a 6
6Cons
These sonorous pairs of six-part pavanes and galliards are taken from the collection Neue fünff Stimmige Paduane und Galliarde, auff Instrumenten, fürnemlich auff Fiolen lieblich zugebrauchen (NewFive-part Paduans and Galliards to be played on instruments, especially delightfully on viols) that Valentin Hausmann had printed in Nuremberg in 1604 at the urging of his friends. The pieces are largely polyphonic with individual voice leading, but there are also homophonic sections, particularly in the galliards. Our practical edition is suitable for recorders and viols alike. All parts notated in octave treble clef are also printed in alto clef.
