Six Dances by Melchior Franck
Franck, Melchior arr Ann Marshall
4 SATB. Aufzug I - Pavana - Galliarda - Deutscher Tanz - Couranta - Aufzug II . The German composer Melchior Franck (1579–1639) was a prolific composer of the late Renaissance and early Baroque. Amongst many other works, he wrote no less than 600 motets. The dances of Susato and Praetorius are great, and are often played, but I have arranged six of Franck’s dances as a bit of a change, anticipating that they will be little-known. Total playing time is about eight minutes.
