Music from the Golden Age of Piracy torrent

Here's a collection of music spanning the period between the English Civil War and the French & Indian War -- roughly the hundred years between 1650 and 1750. Pirates and townsfolk alike would have heard all of these at one time or another in the pubs, at dances, and at various affairs of state. All are fine reproductions played on period instruments. Sound quality is 320 kbs or better. Enjoy!

Colonial America/Early American Roots -- music from the very early colonial American period by Hesperus. This is the music of my ancestors. You can tell they had a lot of fun with it.

La Music du Grand Siecle -- court music written for old Louie the Fourteenth, the Sun King. Church hymns, marching tunes, dance music -- it's all there.

La Roque N Roll -- folk music from the late French renaissance. The Anglo-French boucaniers of the Caribbean doubtless danced many a jig to these tunes.

Penny Merriments -- a shot of dirty filthy wicked fun straight from the taverns of London, some 350 years ago. Sex drugs and rock & roll has been around for a long time, folks...
