Despite the vast amount of instrumental music written in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries very little of it is played and heard today. This is indeed infortunate when pieces like these lively dances from "Terpsichore' by Michael Praetorius are so worthy of performance.

Taking it to be a basic assumption that a composer in any piece wishes to communicate through the language of music some thoughts, ideas, philosophy, moods, states of mind or emotion, there also can be from time to time subsidiary purposes which also motiveate a composition. In the case of Five Moods, one crucial factor was the passing of William Bell, the first great American artist on the tuba and the mentor and teacher of many of today's finest tubists. Indeed, Five Moods, dedicated to Mr. Bell's memory, tries to capture in vignette portraits the different characteristic traits of this remarkable man.
