If you are looking for great Medieval pieces, they are within these pages. They are perfect for Medieval or Renaissance Faires, Concerts, Gigs, SCA events or just playing along with the CD for pleasure. I spend a lot of time choosing these pieces. I discard many more than I decide to keep in the collection. I play and play them and then I choose the best ones. I’m always discovering new pieces... well, old pieces which are new to me. Sometimes I find pieces I have heard over and over and then wonder why I have never used them. I think you will enjoy this collection for a long long time. Finding a great piece is a combination of finding the right piece of the right time.
A minstrel was a medieval European bard who performed songs whose lyrics told stories of distant places or of existing or imaginary historical events. Although minstrels created their own tales, often they would memorize and embellish the works of others. Frequently they were retained by royalty and high society. As the courts became more sophisticated, minstrels were eventually replaced at court by the troubadours, and many became wandering minstrels, performing in the streets and became well-liked until the middle of the Renaissance, despite a decline beginning in the late 15th century. Minstrelsy fed into later traditions of travelling entertainers, which continued to be moderately strong into the early 20th century, and which has some continuity down to today's buskers or street musicians. - From Wikipedia & A history of English literature: in a series of biographical sketches, By William Francis Collier
