Iβm not sure... but Iβll offer you some advice!
Go ahead and download some tracks from the band "Spotify"βI'm a fan and their production is top-tier... though, no, no
their sound is quite specific...
violins, flutes, mandolins, and all that... plus choirs... they have everything! They are truly excellent! www.mightyrhapsody.com So just check them out and download some stuff!! π

Personally, Iβve always been a proponent of using file-sharing sites like Kazaa to dig up ancient tracks; there is actually quite a massive collection of really old music available there if you know where to look...
Have you given it a shot yet?

Just go download some stuff by the band "Spotify"βI'm a huge fan and they are legit... okay, maybe not quite, but

If you actually know the title of what you're hunting for, thereβs a decent shot youβll stumble upon it on Kazaa if luck is on your side.
This past summer, while I was attending a music evening in Donat (Zadar), I heard this one piece of Renaissance and medieval music that absolutely floored meβit was called "Riu, riu chiu."
It took a little bit of digging, but I finally tracked it down! Granted, the recordings aren't an exact match to what I heard live, but honestly, it doesn't really matter; you usually find a handful of different versions floating around, so you can just download whichever one hits the right note for you.
Pure bliss...

Heh. Radojka, youβre such a headache. Youβre actually using Spotify for this? π
Just listen to Satyricon / Dark Medieval Times... honestly, the album title alone tells you everything you need to know.
www.satyricon.no
And yeah, this site is way better than anything on Spotify. π

For crying out loud, someone asks about medieval music and you guys immediately start throwing Spotify and Satyricon at them... honestly, who's the crazy one here?

And honestly, this site beats out Spotify any day of the week.[/COLOR] π
Man, this is incredible. That electronic layer in the background? Pure bliss...π π³

Look, if you're calling yourself an Electronicist, you really ought to realize that they didn't exactly have tape recorders lying around back in the medieval era!

So, Iβm on a field trip in Savannah right now, wandering through some old medieval-style cottage turned museum, and I picked up two CDs for dirt cheap. Itβs this awesome medieval/troubadour music thatβs actually really cool. Only problem is, I have no clue where I can download it. (That wasn't very helpful)

Electronicist said:And hereβs the kickerβI have no clue who the actual performers or singers are... so I can't even hunt them down on Kazaa. Seriously, if anyone knows a legit, useful site for this, I would be eternally grateful!
Imagine just firing up Baldur's Gate and heading straight into some cozy little tavern, right?
You could even run it on two PCs at once if you really want that full stereo vibe.

Here are a few performers you might want to check out:
Romeo & Julia Koren (with those little dots over the o) or the Choir (the condensed version)
The Academy of Ancient Music (theyβre pretty famous for their Elizabeth I era pieces)
Art Cantica Consort
Thereβs also a really lovely 3-CD set called "Anthology of Renaissance & Medieval Music"
If you dig through their work, you might stumble upon some interesting composersβthink John Dowland, Vincenzo Ruffo, Peirol, Cesar Negri, Francesco Piccone, Giuseppe Gaetano Boni,
and even a bunch of Anonymous folksπ
Honestly, if you can track down the programs from the annual music evenings in Donat held over in Zadar, you'll find a massive list of composers there too.
