The Renaissance Suite


On extremely rare occasions Early Music can be used for a TV programme, film, or documentary, or on a radio dealing with a subject, or subjects which are "modern" to a large extent. What follows is a classic example..a film documentary in effect called La Course en Tete about a famous French cyclist.

The above link is the entire film in which one can see how, and where each piece of music relates



Strictly speaking, the above is not "Contemporary Early Music" per se..... but at least it is an example of how old music can be presented in a modern type setting...

The National Anthem of the Byzantine Empire

  The Byzantine Anthem below can be seen as an "early" piece of  medieval music, and ofcourse here we have some "modern"...
