Michael Praetorius - Terpsichore, La Bouree (With Racketts) 

I love crumhorns so much. Why is anything so good. The look, the name, the sound, the phase cancelation effects when they play together. The fact that it's a giant bag practice chanter, or it's closest cousin in a real instrument is an oboe. The champion of all silly instruments of all time. I love it.

Amazing intonation. Especially the last chord.

I have requested this be played at my funeral, while four beautiful women dressed as woodland creatures beat an effigy of me with wooden staffs.

Love Crumhorns!

David Munrow+rackets+crumhorns=some damn good music.

What a sound!!!

Einfach super👍👌🙏

Beautifull.!! ..love it...

Praetorius said a similar thing about this instrument in his "Syntagma musicum"!

I will. "Who's making all that Rackett". ;o)

so much colour best instrument

You do realize that this is a picture of crumhorns, not rackets, yes?

The renaissance needs to be renaissanced! WHy is this music not played and taught as much as later music?!

Nice rackett music and crumhorn picture

The musical instruments played here give a good bass line.

Love it!

!Maravillosa musica!

I listen to this like every day.

Nice, but the image is misleading: Krumhorns are shown, Ranketts (or Racketts) are heard.

i love it

We had a listening quiz in music class and this was in it. This song is stuck in my head ;-;

thats fucking cool shit. entertaining and nice to listen too, apparently as unique as they are and as funny sounding it blends quite well. Beats crumhorn anyday.

Ah yes, the aptly named Rackett. Thanks for posting

Yes, we know the picture is of three krummhorns...but they do look more interesting, from the outside, than does a rackett.

@jooelywooely David Munrow: Early Music Consort Of London :D.

This is quoted extensively in the bridge of the Fifth Estate’s 1967 pop arrangement of “Ding! Dong! The Witch is Dead”, performed on (I think) a recorder.

The Best ringtone for ever

Hyacinth said to Richard; "It's not Rackett!" It's Rackey! Please get it right, Richard!"

@cubanboi But... the melody is to acute for the tessitura of a Racketts....(????)

Far too much character for the krummhorn. This is real racket territory. Thanks for the upload!

This is one of Mulligan and O'Hare's more avant-garde explorations.

Who are the performers?

Wonderful! Variety is the spice of life!

@yukieriol I don't think I've heard Crumhorns played so well

Chuckle

Na imagem Krummhorns, muito embora a obra contenha Racketts.

Thanks :D!, Let me fix it

@jooelywooely I think the same thing :).

Those aren't rackets in the picture.. They're crummhorns..

I've achieved a similar sound with a comb and a piece of tracing paper.

@lilythepink123 Yes its brilliant isn't it? Gets me in the mood for gardening! Could easily imagine digging up carrots to this one!

bourrée de la promise cuitée...

Wait, is it all rackets? 😂

@cubanboi OH GOD D=!!! You R TOTTALY RIGHT!!!

I won't make the obvious joke.

verily i am tripping balls

Do you know who's performing this?

Play at x1.25 speed

Just sounds like a load of rackett to me! DOH HO HO

This is so good, but it sounds kind of terrible when you actually listen to it.

Sounds like farting

Racketts and Crumhorns aren't the same thing, are they? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rackett
