The "early music ensemble" genre encompasses groups specializing in historical performance practices of music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, using period-appropriate instruments and techniques. These ensembles strive for authenticity and often involve scholarly research to inform their interpretations. The repertoire covers a wide span, from liturgical compositions to secular courtly music, featuring works by composers such as Pierre de la Rue to theatrical productions by Renaissance artists like Juan del Encina. Ensembles such as Les Musiciens du Louvre and The King's Noyse bring to life the intricate polyphonies and buoyant dances of the past, while groups like the Harmonia Recorder Ensemble highlight the unique timbres of historical woodwinds. This genre offers a sonic time capsule that transports listeners to the rich soundscape of earlier centuries.
