Renaissance dances in the sound of a guitar ensemble
The publication Dances from Terpischore presents a selection of six dance pieces from the famous collection by the German composer Michael Praetorius. These lively and rhythmically distinctive Renaissance dances have been carefully arranged by Václav Hikl for guitar ensemble. Thanks to this arrangement, performers can explore historical dance music in a modern chamber music setting. The pieces stand out for their clarity, elegant melodic lines and vibrant dance character that easily captures the attention of both performers and audiences. The edition includes a full score, four individual parts and is complemented by online audio recordings that help players understand the style and interpretation of the music.

Audio recordings

Renaissance music
The selected pieces come from the famous dance collection Terpsichore, one of the most important sources of Renaissance instrumental dance music.
The collection Terpsichore, published in 1612, remains one of the best known anthologies of Renaissance dances. Its melodies and rhythms continue to inspire musicians around the world and demonstrate that music written more than four centuries ago can still sound lively and fresh today. In this arrangement for guitar ensemble the pieces gain a new sonic colour, combining the spirit of historical dance music with the possibilities of modern chamber performance. The carefully distributed voices allow players to highlight the rhythmic energy and elegant phrasing typical of Renaissance dance forms. Each part contributes to a balanced musical dialogue between the instruments, making the edition suitable both for educational use and for concert performance.
Václav Hikl is a Czech musician and arranger who focuses on creating and adapting music for various instrumental ensembles. In his work he often connects historical repertoire with modern interpretative possibilities, making older music accessible to contemporary performers. His arrangements are appreciated for their clarity, musical sensitivity and practical usability in both educational and chamber music environments.
