What are some good beginner Renaissance songs/tunes?

[Mandolin-wolf]

I am starting the mandolin, and I love Renaissance music (and Celtic, but that's another topic), so what are some good songs from the Renaissance or Medieval times that are easy to learn?

Check this old thread in the Medieval Mandolin social group:

I have several of these . The book and CD make learning the songs easier.

Well, Martin, that certainly is nice. I will probably peruse through there when I have the time.

You might want to check out a collection of medieval/Renaissance pieces I put together several years ago called "Divertissements médiévaux." It's for violin & piano (violin all in 1st position) but is entirely playable on mandolin. The work is published by Wolfhead Music.

Just tried it here on 3 different computers and it works fine. If it continues not working for you please let me know. You also could copy and paste the URL www.wolfheadmusic.com.
