Continuum this week will present a program of dances from medieval times to the present performed by a wandering minstrel ensemble called "Wolgemut”.The name is from an old German word meaning "being in a good mood." All of the dances feature early instruments such as bagpipes, rauschpfeife, recorders and medieval drums and percussion. The recording used is Danza - GEMA w-cd 003.
