Tune of the Day: La Niderulm
from “Amusement de Mars”
This fanfare is the third movement of Amusement de Mars, a suite for solo instrument (“musette, vielle, flute and oboe” according to the original edition) and continuo by the French Baroque composer Nicolas Chédeville.
The title almost certainly refers to the German town of Nieder-Olm, located near the Rhine river 10 km south of Mainz.
