Music before 1700

Nov 15 23:06 UTC 1997

I'm wondering if anyone else is intersted in Early Music?  When I say early
music, I mean all music before the seventeen hundreds-- the middle ages and
renneisance.  Most disscusion of "classical" music tends to be limited to the
Baroque period and later, so I thought I'd see if anyone has anything to say
about chant, early polyphony, motets, whatever...

I'm interested in the music of Elizabethan England -- the works
of composers like William Byrd, Giles Farnaby, John Bull. Used
to play a lot of the pieces from the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book
on the harpsichord.

I like quite a bit of early music, but for the most part not passionately
enough to have really learned that much about it.  I know a moderate amount
about chant (including some about later varieties), some about early polyphony
& motets & madrigals, pavannes, etc., but not systematically at all.  So by
all means let those who know more say on.
