Program Notes
Though entirely original, the melodies' modal harmonies and tasteful, dance-like percussion accompaniments are typical of the period. A stately courtly dance and a lively jig give almost everyone in the band a chance to play the melody, and make an excellent introduction to the sounds and style of Renaissance music.
