Where can I find good folk music like Greensleeves?

Question

I'm really fond of that song and I would like to hear more folk music from that era of music.

Also, where can I find medieval non-Gregorian chant music?

Answer 1

Greensleeves is a 16th century tune. I have a CD called "Shakespeare's Music" that has more 16th century music.

As for non-Gregorian chant medieval music, there is quite a bit recorded that is quite good. Try entering "early music", "troubadours" or "minesingers" in the search box in Amazon and you'll get several pages of hits.

While not completely authentic, one modern band I really like that uses medieval instruments and medieval music as their inspiration is Wolgemut:

On Comcast Rhapsody you can look up music in genres, like Folk music. Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, the Kingston Trio, and others had many hits. Bob Dylan was a Folk musician before going electric. Comcast Rhapsody offers a free radio service that will play your favorite genres and/or artists.
