The Music and Dance of the Middle Ages

Over the past few months we have been experiencing the Middle Ages. In December we had Shula Kleinerman, founder of Seattle Historical Arts for Kids, come share with us her knowledge and skill of Medieval music, instruments and dance. We were enthralled with the talent and passion of her young apprentices and enjoyed learning a circle dance complete with horses pawing the ground and neighing. 

 

The vielle and the viola da gamba

Olde English sounds different than modern day English

Big to the left and big to the left
Small to the right and small to the right...
