English Country Dances, 17th Century music from the publications of John Playford.
This is great for background music as well as dancing. It cheers us, it reminds us of evenings of dancing with friends, and we love it. Instruments used are violin, theorbo, cittern, Baroque guitar, harp, double harp, Irish harp and guitar. I will have to do some research to learn about "theorbo." I have no idea what that is. The music sure is toe-tappy, though.

Would you like to know more about a theorbo? For descriptions, pictures and history, check out this website. And many thanks to Musings of a Mommy Musician for the helpful link. The world is filled with wise and knowledgeable folks; I am delighted that many drop by and visit me here.
