Cheerful, lusty, raucous...these are the sounds of the street bands and the people of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Fanfares, drums, cymbals accompanying the street procession on a Saint's Day; cornetto and sackbut accompanying singers in princely chapels. Of such simple roots grew magnificent compositions of both the secular and ecclesiastical courts. This collection of rollicking dances and fantasias are performed by the New York Renaissance Band...and you! Contains printed music score, and compact disc (with accompaniments only) in stereo.

Accompaniment: New York Renaissance Band: Lucy Bardo, viols/vielle; Lawrence Benz, sackbut/recorders/krummhorns; Allan Dean, cornetto/recorders/krummhorns; Ben Harms, percussion/viols; Sally Logemann, shawms/dulcian/rackett/recorder
