Jan Miense Molenaer, Dancing in a Village Street (ca. 1630)

This week, get ready to party like it's 1499!

Our good friend Sarah Huebsch Schilling visited IPR's Studio A to help with this week's episodes.

Sarah is an expert in early music - music from the medieval and renaissance periods.

She played her recorder for us to show us what types of music people would have danced to hundreds of years ago.

Along the way, we'll find out the difference between Sarah's recorders and the recorders we play in school.

Plus, she tell us what a famous Christmas carol has in common with a big fight...

We also have a Classical Sprouts episode all about these dances with Sarah too!

Party like it's 1499! Learn about Renaissance dances and the recorder.
