Anyone else interested in early music?

I sort of caught the early days of the early music revival and have been interested in it ever since the early 1970s :old:

I love the interesting sonorities, the dance tunes, the serenity, and the spirituality.

Anybody else interested?

Yes, renaissance and earlier. There is some stuff as early as 12th century out there.

I just listen - but might make enough progress to join in some day.

I've been using a mass by TAllis as my wake-up music this week :)
