Musical Credits

All the background music on our website is early European instrumental music, reproduced here with permission of the electronic sources and, wherever possible, of the performing musicians.

In particular I have availed myself of the following collections:

1. From The Classical Midi Archives.

• Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652 AD), ‘Miserere mei, Deus’
  played by A.Dunn.
• Orlande de Lassus (1532-1594 AD), ‘Salve Regina’
  played by Claire Delavallée. Visit her midi collection.
• William Byrd (1543-1623 AD), ‘Ave Verum Corpus’
  played by Jean-Christian Houg.
• Guillaume Dufay (1397-1474 AD), ‘Vergine Bella’
  played by Nicholas Lander.
• Jacob van Eyk (1590-1657 AD), ‘Der Fluyten Lusthof’
  played by Denavond.
• Caterina Assandra (c.1570-c.1610 AD), ‘Ave verum corpus’
  played by Hansjakob Heldstab.
• Hans Leo Hassler (1562-1612 AD), ‘Sanctus et Benedictus’
  played by C.S.Shunk.
• Hans Leo Hassler (1562-1612 AD), ‘Laudate Dominum’
  played by T.Matasovic.

2. From The Internet Renaissance Band.

Claude Gervaise (c. 1500 - 1560 AD), sequences from Troisième Livre de Danseries all played by Curtis Clark:

• ‘Gaillard l’Admiral’
• ‘Gaillard de la Guerre’
• ‘Gaillard, Si je m'en vois’
• ‘Pavanne de la Guerre’
• ‘Pavanne, Est il conclud’
• ‘Bransle, Gay I’.

I express my thanks to the performers. Medieval and Renaissance music seems highly appropriate to accompany our reflection on an issue that depends so much on a correct understanding of our cultural traditions.
