Ever wondered where to start with early music? I have taught music appreciation classes several times called Listening to Renaissance Music and Listening to Medieval Music. These songs will give you a quick overview into the types of early music recordings available. It is more available today than ever before.
The Spotify playlists are Medieval and Renaissance.
This is the plan for the Medieval Christmas 2018, which I’m calling Christmas Through the Centuries.
11th Century: Ut Queant Laxis
12th Century: Orientis Partibus
13th Century: Rosa das Rosas
14th Century: In Dulci Jubilo , and Adam Lay Ybounden
15th Century: What Tidings Bringest Thou , and Ther is no Rose of Swych Vertu
16th Century: Gaudete, and Psallite Unigenito
