the lady and the unicorn

Released in November 1970, The Lady And The Unicorn contains a variety ofinstrumental 'early music' pieces, at that time the object of eclectic Renbourn'sresearch. Despite its characterization as a 'medieval album', the music contained is ofa much wider range, spanning from the 13th - 14th century dance tunes "Trotto" and"Saltarello" to the instrumental versions of the relatively recent English folk songs "MyJohnny Was A Shoemaker" and "Scarborough Fair". The result of this amazingresearch can be carefully tracked by Renbourn's liner notes which neatly reportauthors, dates, and cultural origins of the material, where known.Track listing - Side A: 1.
