2) Brass ensembles
3) Woodwind ensembles
4) Orchestras

Answer 1

Modern recordings of Danseries often employ brass ensembles due to the advancements in instruments during the nineteenth century and the prominent role of wind instruments in orchestras.

Step-by-step explanation:

Although publications and compilations of "Danseries" before 1550 by Attaingnant and Gervaise were written for French wind bands, modern recordings often employ brass ensembles. In the medieval period, instruments like the flute, recorder, and gemshorn were used for performances. However, with the advancements in instruments during the nineteenth century, the orchestra saw the addition of more wind instruments and their parts became more prominent. Therefore, brass ensembles are often utilized in modern recordings of Danseries.
