Tune of the Day: La Eringen
from “Amusement militaire”
This gavotte is the eighth and last 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.
As with several other Op. 6 movements, the title might refer to a German town or locality.
