Pleasures of the Court

Pleasures of the Court.  Festive Dance Music by Susato and Morley from the times of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The early music Consort of London & The Morley Consort directed by David Munrow. Sounds like a party to me! Side one is Tielman Susato belting out Twelve Dances from The Danserye, 1551. Side two has Thomas Morley getting down with Dances for Broken Consort From First Booke of Consort Lessons, 1559.  Recorded live at All Saints Church, Tooting, London, England.  Covering all the bases.
