PENNY MERRIMENTS: Street Songs of 17th Century England
The songs on this disc were the pop music of their day. Printed in their thousands, they were as likely to be performed on the London stage as in the corner of a country alehouse. Subjects of such magnitude as the Restoration of Charles II or the Great Fire of London vie for space with lively, lusty tales of sexual exploits, jilted suitors, shrewish wives, fumbling husbands and country bumpkins. All were sung to some of the most delightful English tunes of the age, recreated here on a variety of period instruments.
