| This video contains music from the Tudor Court performed by the New York Pro Musica. Since its formation in 1952, the New York Pro Musica has gained recognition as the world's leading ensemble performing music written prior to the 18th century. The selections heard here are among those that delighted the English Court from the time of Henry VIII through the reign of Elizabeth I. Archaic instruments heard include the shawn, krummhorn, sackbut, cornett, rauschpfeife, kortholt, organetto, regal, wooden flute and gamba, as well as the more familiar instruments, the recorder and the harpsichord. I have included screen caps from ANNE OF THE THOUSAND DAYS because the story takes place during the reign of Henry VIII and the music is on side-B of the soundtrack album. 1) Three Popular Dances (anonymous) 2) I.
