Henkelman, David, ed
Battle music was a popular instrumental genre in the seventeenth century that
musically recreated scenes of warfare. Bibers Battalia is a famous example,
but composers like Clamor Heinrich Abel also made entertaining contributions
to this fashionable genre. Abels Battaille stands out because it also
features a ciaccona. A delightfully eclectic example of seventeenth-century
descriptive music.
