This arrangement came about just because I am the sort of person who constantly want to expand my horizons, and the core really didn't have anything in it's repertoire from before the Baroque era. The choice of composers was just that I was looking for music with more than four parts, that wasn't too simple. Trabaci seemed to like five part writing, and I was able to find about 8 movements of his that I liked, especially the chromatic fugue. I still want to figure out exactly what would be in a renaissance dance suite, to do another arrangement, then an original dance suite work, so I guess I have a bucket list . . Thanks Richard
