Free Music Notes for A Renaissance Christmas
Free Music Review: Renaissance was better than this....
Hit: 2 Stars
In purchasing this CD, I was anticipating music that reflects the excitement that was the Renaissance. Instead, I felt I was listening to middle age dirges. I confess, I've not listened to the CD again.
