Product Description

Perform Renaissance music with a full renaissance band! Perfect for practice, rehearsal, auditions, contest solos, performances, and more!

This album contains the greatest selections from two important Renaissance collections: Tielman Susato's 'Danserye, from Het derde musyck boexcken' (1551) and Fridolin Sicher's 'Ein altes Spielbuch' (c. 1500). Both works give great insight into 15th and 16th-century life in the Low Countries of northern Europe.

Contains printed music score, and two compact discs (with accompaniments only) in stereo.

Information is insufficient3
Echoes of Time, Music Minus One

Music is well selected and beautifully played. Also, the book is well printed, though the fonts are quite small in some of the partitions.
I rate the item with three stars only because I believe that the information provided by both the publisher and by Amazon are insufficient for a relatively expensive item which is sold on the Internet.
The product is announced as Renaissance Music. Though the players are the New York Renaissance Band, and the two composers mentioned on the backcover (Susato and Sicher) lived and worked during the Renaissance, other partitions contained in this book are actually Medieval music -- often difficult to understand and, moreover, to play. Second, if you play the alto recorder, you will find that some of the partitions need to be played one octave higher (e.g.Okehem); other are logically enough quite rapid. In short, if you are an intermediary "aficionado" player (as is my case) you will not be able to play many of the partions in this book without a lot of effort and, probably, a teacher's guidance. To summarise, try to have a look at the book before purchasing it.
