I'd choose something from the Elizabethan age, some secular music - something on the popular side rather than, say, Dowland's songs with lute or works for a consort of viols. Dorian has some CDs with music from that time, e.g., "Watkins Ale - Music of the English Renaissance" with the Baltimore Consort [DOR 09142]; or else "Shakespeare's Music" [DOR 90017], which is a compilation from about 10 various Dorian CDs. Both CDs contain vocal and instrumental music. -Margaret Mikulska
