(c) 1996, 1999 R.G. Ferrell (Cynric of Bedwyn)
NOTE: I sell a CD which has only 1/2 (the 28 tracks below) of the tracks on the original 2 CD set!
Here is how Cynric of Bedwyn describes his music:
I made a CD to accompany Avatar's two-volume music book
"Early Period Dance Music," which is the definitive collection of Ansteorran music. Many of
the arrangements have both the original scoring/key and any changes that
have come about in what you might call 'practical usage.' My CD (now in
its second edition) is all synthesized _but_ I spent a lot of time tweaking
voices to get them as close to 'live instruments' as possible. I have a
fairly nice recording studio, with some pretty heavy-duty wave tables.
I also have at least four or five CDs worth of period (not necessarily
dance) music to record. I have a friend in Austin (Samuel Piper) who is
absolutely obsessed with pumping out very professional-looking arrangements
of period small ensemble and solo pieces. He's done the Walsingham Court
Books (1588), A book of Ballads and Songs from England and Scotland (late
16th C.), Playford (English Dancing Master), Heavenly Touch by John
Dowland, and two or three more (at last count), as well as Arbeau's
Orchesographie.
So expect a few releases from me in the not-too-distant future containing
some of the above.
