Music can last a long time

Last night I attended a concert here at Duncaster. The performers were "Entwyned+, a trio that focuses on music from 1600 - 1750. And, they play the music on instruments reproduced from that time. Their first song got me. It was "Greensleeves". Did you know that it was played in 1580, over 400 years ago? I didn't recognize anything else but the music was beautiful.

They played a number of instruments: lutes (like guitars), viola da gamba, traversos (flutes) and harps.

Listen to "Greensleeves
