Early Music of the Garden is presented by Continuum on this program. Four different aspects of the "early" garden are visited: The Garden of Earthly Delights, Dreams in a Pleasure Garden, A Dance in the Garden of Mirth, and When Birds Do Sing.
This wide variety of garden music is performed by four excellent early music ensembles. The periods of music heard range from the 14th century through the 17th century.
