Perhaps an odd thing...

kellan_the_tabbyI'm rapidly discovering that given the choice between SCA-written 'medievaloid' music, and real period music, I'll pick the latter every time.
In fact, given a choice between a lot of the sort of 'folk/traditional' music that people sing at events, and real period music, I'll pick the latter every time.
I'm currently listening to parts of a CD from Harper's Retreat a bunch of years ago. Parts, because I keep skipping over songs. I get maybe halfway through, and think, you know, I'm not _enojoying_ this one...and it's always the modern stuff. I'm really enjoying listening to the period stuff. The sound is just _so_ different.
I'll probably put more Machaut back in after this. Maybe before I had period music to listen to I wouldn't have known enough to know what's _not_...but now that I do know, said knowledge won't just conveniently go away.
Guess I need more period stuff.
