Sing á la renaissance
How to musically perform a certain piece of renaisance music really could be debated.
The argument is usally taken from early prints like John Dowland´s english translation of Ornithoparcus' Musicae active micrologus of 1515.
However, from the historical art of painting, it is obvious that groups of people came together to sing and play in their homes.
From this point of wiev, following music examples are authentical; i.e. how it today can sound when 3-5 people every week meet to sit around the kitchen table and just sing for fun.
Thus, also small kids in the families could be heard!
Interestingly, there are musical scores which should be read at each of the four sides.
This really indicate that four people sat at each of the sides of a table to sing!
It is really not like a professional consert performance, but probably more close to how it could have sounded in the homes 400-500 years ago.
When singing, we called us Quadrivium; i.e. where four (roads) meet. However, also means the meeting of four gateway to wisdom; "Ars Arithmetica", "Ars Geometrica, Ars Astrologica" and "Ars Musica".
