    Super-interesting lens! One of the very first 'LP's I ever bought was a Deutscher Grammafon Gesellschaft Archive Production of High Renaissance music. There's nothing quite like it! But I didn't know much about it.

    I've gotten into it more since I found out about Blackmore's Night. Ritchie Blackmore, who played lead guitar for the rock band Deep Purple, learned to play the hurdy gurdy and several other instruments when he switched to playing Renaissance music with his wife.

    The harp video on the lens is beautiful. What a lovely instrument. 5* and lensrolled to my Blackmore's Night lens.

    Renaissance music is fun to listen to and play! As a flautist, I have to say that Renaissance recorders and flutes are beautiful, too. :)

    Wow, this was certainly an education. I was familiar with the Lute and the Irish Harp but had never heard of the Hurdy-Gurdy. Very interesting.

    I love these instruments. The sound is so unique. Great job presenting them.

    I really enjoy Renaissance music. It is something which possibly not many people hear very much but I enjoy it's simplicity.

    That harp sounds nice.

    Another period I like in the History. Indeed, dance was as important as fighting - eh, people needed to keep being occupied during the peace times, lol.
    SquidAngel blessings to this fantastic era that was Renaissance.

    I must admit Renaissance music is not my chosen style to listen to, but I enjoyed learning more about it. Very nice lens :)
