Tune of the Day: La Bermersheim
from “Amusement de Mars”
This sarabande is the fifth 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 refers to the German town of Bermersheim, located near the Rhine river about 10 km north-west of Worms.
