[SCA-Dance] Music Question for the group - Knowledge / Preferences for Medieval Wedding Music

[Margretha La Fauvelle]

Greetings All,

Although our processional was out of period (a Bradenburg Concert
movement), our recessional was a piece from Susato's Danserye
(Bergeret sans roch et reprise) played by a string quartet. It sounded
beautiful.

Nothing stays hidden under the sun.
