Thanks! I am more interested in implementing elements of renaissance counterpoint in my compositions than composing in an outdated style which I am already doing, but in a relative degree. Still my understanding of that music is very limited. Despite having taken lessons on late Renaissance counterpoint for choral music I can't say I really know how to write in the renaissance style. I am currently studying Widmann's dances and hear some other stuff (the ear is always a great guide). I am trying to find "Dances from Terpsichore" by Praetorius, but can't seem to find them anywhere... I am also very interested in implementing in some way Hildegard's chant style. I really love the melismatic character of her music, but again I have a scarce amount of material apart from recordings... Anyway, thanks again! Anyone else?
