Renaissance Faire Music
Music that you hear at a Renaissance faire
Music that you hear at a Renaissance faire (or while you are waiting for one, or while you are driving to one with the CD player blaring, or while you are figuring out what one is) all in one convenient location. From the cerebral (like Tomo Iwakura) to the mysterious (like Loreena McKennit) to the campy and fun (like The Naughty Nymphs) to the traditional (like Pacific Camerata) to the innovative (like Lise Winne), it is all here to sample and select. Have fun!
