Music (videos) of the Renaissance

I had the great privilege of directing a Madrigal choir for 6 years. The Elizabethan Syngers (Minnesota) is an auditioned community ensemble that primarily provides choral music for the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. They perform in full Madrigalia Costumes and have a lot of fun while making great music. Here is a music video of their renaissance setting of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance.
As director of the Lincoln Choral Artists I proposed a concert of Renaissance music and I can't wait for the performance on Nov. 5.

I have always loved the music and cultural significance of the European Renaissance Era. Below is a great video about the era. It's funny and fun. I do wish there mention of how influential the music of the era played into the development of culture and music. But it's still a great watch.
