Medieval and Renaissance Music

Larry Dearing playing in the lanes of the Georgia Renaissance Festival

The Elegant Simplicity of Early Music...

Music of the Medieval and Renaissance periods is both subtle and breathtaking.  It's variety of ambient sound explores deep moods of contemplation, light-hearted joy, courtly romance, and praise.  It is in short, the music of the people preserved and passed down to us across the centuries.

Come and join me on this strangely mystical yet comfortably familiar journey as we experience the music of Europe from the 12th through 17th Century Europe.

New Album! Piper in the Lane

I've been threatening to do a minimalistic sort of low-fi representation of my performances in the lanes at Medieval and Renaissance faires and festivals.  Here it is!   The song listing of 16 tunes spanning twelve tracks are taken straight from my street set-list.  I have added a bit of simple percussion for seasoning.  Now, imagine no background noise and you've got the idea.

Piper in the Lane’ is available on Compact Disc, digital download, or on a ready-to-play USB drive.  You can also find this album on my Works Collection, which is an anthology of all of my albums in one package.  Sheet music for the songs on this album are also available in my Piper in the Lane – Companion Songbook download.  Get both for a nice discount.
