Secret Green and Francis Lickerish are ones you should check out. Francis Lickerish is the lead guitar player and main songwriter for Secret Green, but instead of releasing a second album under the Secret Green moniker he released it under his own name, but it's still essentially Secret Green.

I only got their albums while Jan Akkerman was with the band, and thought that was a good moment to stop spending more money in Focus albums. Those albums after Hamburger Concerto were already of much lesser quality for me. |

I haven't really been able to find so much of medieval sounds in the Gentle Giant albums I've got. Perhaps just a bit on a few songs, but I would have liked more. Still, I love their first 2 albums. |

Awesome tune! Love the comedic machismo of the background male chorus. Also, I'm really impressed with this band's choice to not let the electric/metal overwhelm or overpower the beautiful folk elements. |

I didn't authorise this but as it's there I might as well use it! The Morrigan did a lot of Rennaisance and medieval related music, and this was always one of my favourites (Shameless advertising). The composers are Michael Praetorius (German) and Tielman Susato (Flemish) Two voltas, bookending La Basse Danse Bergeret sans Roche and Reprise. Also if you listen really carefully, you will hear that Cathy incorporated "How Much is That Doggy in the Window" into the recorder playing. Edited by Colin Masson - September 29 2013 at 15:08 |

Checked out both and have to say it's a bit more bombastic and theatric than I'm looking for--also more electrified. At least a step up from Blackmore's Night. Also, I like the Lickerish solo stuff more than the Secret Green stuff. But, thanks! |

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

lol!! Okay, Tomas! I've actually been successful in finding a few songs on YouTube--and liking them quite a lot--just don't know what albums they come from. I'll get back to you on that . . .

I'VE FOUND IT! THE music I've been looking for!!
PAZZO FANFANO DI MUSICA's 1989 eponymously titled album. This is EXACTLY the kind of music I've been craving. More acoustic and keyboard dominated yet definitely steeped in themes and sounds as if it's from the band is trying to reach back to the Italian Renaissance. Strings, harpsichord, flutes, classical guitar, piano, wonderfully quirky female vocals, organs, and HARPSICHORD! Check it out: on YouTube you can hear the album in its entirety. And check out Ivan Melgar's review here on PA. AWESOME! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Qrbo3S2Jb0 |

Some one has probably mentioned Espers already but for me this is as close as one is going to get to early medieval/renaissance prog/folk music done with a modern twist. Their melodies are simply beautiful and haunting at the same time.

Anonymous - Edi Beo Thu, Hevene Quene
Anonymous - Procurans Odium Codex Rossi XIV century_ Ballata - Amor Mi Fa Cantar A La Francesca This is "the best" but you probably won't find it online anymore: Heinrick Finck (1444-1527) - Wer ich eyn falck - Invicto regi jubilo A little harder maybe for the rock palette to like: Bartolino da Padova (c.1365-1405) - Qual lege move
