Queen Elizabeth I regarded herself as something of a dancer and this disc contains a medley of the sort of music which was played after dinner in the royal court during the 16th and 17th centuries. Alongside works by such well-known composers as Byrd, Morley, and Parsons, the recording includes miniatures by several more obscure composers, and from two contemporary 'anthologies' of dance music.
