Susato- The Danserye

I am taking a music theory course at my high school, and I have a paper due in 4 weeks concerning any piece written in the Renaissance period. The piece I am considering researching is The Danserye by Tielman Susato, because this is the only Renaissance piece I am familiar with. Does anyone know how or where I can a version of the score as it was written in 1551? I can only find modern arrangements of it online, and the score is not on IMSLP.

Thanks for your help.

Edit: Thanks to corbasse for correcting my spelling... :oops:

It is a collection of pieces rather than a piece. Sort of like the Terpsichore collection by Praetorius.

You can order the music books from

Look under recorder quartets.

Not the original 1500's model, but closer than most:

It helps googling the right spelling, especially in these cases... Danserye will get you further.

The Belgian company Alamire in Peer published a facsimile edition, but I don't know if it's still available. The specialized bookstore OMI still lists it: http://www.omifacsimiles.com/" target="_blank" target="_blank" target="_blank.
The original title is: "Het deerde musyck boexken ( Alderhande danserye)"
which translates to something like "ye therde musick booklett (all kindes of danceries)" :P
Here's my collection of sites which provide facsimiles of some sort or other, some of them for free. If you're really lucky, maybe a library or museum digitized them already.
