Tune of the Day: Le Daxtoul
from “Amusement militaire”
This “prelude” is the sixth movement of Amusement militaire, 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 might refer to a German town or locality, like many of the other pieces from this collection.
