Listen to more  Renaissance music by various composers below:

Prince Rupert's March       Lord Willoughby's March      It was a Lover and His Lasse    Scarborough Fair  

Susato's Ronde     Since First I Saw Your Face     

Ancient Music for a New Day
by  Dorothea Barth Copyright 2009

Rupert’s march so regal, 
Might well appeal to thee,
Or perhaps, in minor strains,
The walk of Willoughby.

Light ye now the candles,
And pause in reverie,
Siren songs echo thy joy,
The madrigals of Morley.

Up the aisle triumphant,
What finer way to go,
Union joyfully proclaimed,
A ronde by Susato

'Fore and aft such splendor
Some gleeful notes shall dance,
Praetorius and Dowland
Bring forth the Renaissance.

Treasure has not vanished,
The music ’s close at hand,
Reappeared to share thy glee,
Spread birdsong through the land.
