The Lute in Dance and Dream: 300 Years of Lute Masterpieces | Authentic Renaissance & Baroque Music | Perfect for Historical Reenactments, Wedding Ceremonies & Relaxation

This is a wonderful album. Although the usual suspects such as Dowland and Weiss are represented, much of it is unfamiliar but beautiful music, superbly played: rhythmic, melodic, and with that certain mystical something that early music possesses but no other kind seems to.Since Amazon doesn't list the composers of the pieces, and the titles alone are (in many cases) uninformative, I give the complete track-listing below:01) Anon: Italiana02) Francesco da Milano: Fantasia, N. 2803) Anon: Gallarda (Chilesotti Nº 99)04) Anon: Passamezzo Moderno05) Mudarra: Fantasía06) Godard: Ce mois de May07) J. de Reis: Courante08) Hassler: Canzon09) Mertel: So wünsch ich ihr eine gute Nacht10) Dowland: A Dream (Lady Leighton's Pavan), P. 7511) Dowland: The Shoemaker's Wife, P. 5812) Kapsberger: Toccata13) Kapsberger: Corrente I14) Kapsberger: Corrente II15) Ballard: Branles de Village16) Millerand: Sarabande17) Mouton: Menuet18) D.
