#MonksMusic Part 2 starts today. Working forwards with roughly 225 composers & compilation albums from my collection, starting in 900 and ending in 1700 exploring the rich tapestry of Medieval, Renaissance & Early Baroque music.
As before I'll post a composer, their years, a work & a link

On this day 10 years ago, I learned 16 Brian Eno songs. Those 40 minutes of Eno are included as bonuses on this huge set from 2016... Free to stream/name your price to download (which you need to do to get the bonuses I'm afraid)
