A simple round for STT trio. Walter Odington was a a benedictine monk famous for science and music theory according to wikipedia. This piece is rhythmically very simple but harmonically kind of interesting. I modified it a bit by playing it 1.5 times through, sufficient to let it penetrate a little better I think.

Another bransle, this from Etienne Du Tertre, a Parisian in the mid 15th century. SATB with tambourine. This time I really feel like the percussion is under control.

Another susato dance, from Recorder Consort 2. ATTB with tambourine. Learning to do post-production right -- this has noise cancellation to cut out the evil 60-cycle hum caused by the MBR wall wort.

From a book of original Renaissance manuscripts which I cannot locate at the moment. SATB recorders. Properly noise-cancelled and edited.

Another Susato piece for SATB, from _Recorder_Consort_2_. This was encoded in .wav format and then extensively hacked in Audacity before final reduction to mp3. On headphones, the Micro-Boss powered with the stock wall wort reveals an obtrusive 60-cycle hum. I noise-reduced that out for this piece. You can still hear some artifacts of the noise-reduction process though. I also boosted the volume.

A prelude by Henry Purcell. Recorded SST but then lowered from "F" to "A" with Audacity. It might be better to try STT with these.

Another branle by Michael Praetorius. I played this AABB but it should probably have been AABBA, or maybe even more repetitions with percussion. From _Recorder_Consort_4_, for SSATB recorders. I boosted the volume in post with Audacity.
