Ooh, those renaissance dances are nice.

Wow that is one peculiar release. How can I not check that out.

The reason I call this 'My Precious', is that I had lost a lot in Hurricane Katrina, including my music library, which i am still slowly rebuilding, thank the Goddess!!
I owned this CD when it became released, and found it to be a collection of music that is most suited for comtemplative study, note-taking, journalling, writing memoirs with tea/coffee/mead/or aperitif. For me, it is also good music to use when busy scripting in my book-of-shadows, or rhyming wordings to be used later for some good works, by tensor light if not by candle.
As one who has self-taught guitar and medieval instruments, i appreciate the talent behind, and the hard work to play this collection.
I will place this among my 'workings' collection, once i receive it ... although not quick enough!

I have always wanted to hear Sequentia's speculative renditions of ancient Norse music.
This should be in the Inspector Norse thread.

Jealous!! I recently found another ECM/Munrow lp but I never have stumbled on that one. Get the Art of the Netherlands box if you ever see it. Really great.

xp i got the renaissance box for pretty cheap ($15-ish?) on discogs, looks like they've got sweet deals on the munrow/early consort stuff... need to get more, though i can only listen when i'm alone in the house... rest of the family thinks i'm about to start going to renn faires. AND MAYBE I AM.

In my neverending quest to find all of the wildest David Munrow recordings, I picked up three things while on vacation recently -- 1) LP box of The Art of Courtly Love (I have the CD but couldn't resist because of the book/notes/lyrics) 2) CD of Music for Ferdinand and Isabella of Spain3) Henry VIII and his Six Wives film score
So far the highlight (as far as what I'm after, generally speaking) has been the track "Ethiop Masque", which was apparently incidental music in the film (which I haven't seen, but stars Charlotte Rampling!) The whole album is on youtube but a clip of that tune is easier to access here http://www.allmusic.com/album/david-munrow-henry-viii-and-his-six-wives-mw0001382560
I never get sick of this stuff!

Idk -- I'm not familiar with the film or miniseries but the music is great!! There's another really driving tune called "Street Music" iirc
