Dancing In The Grass (The Night Ramble/The Irish Jig)
The Baltimore Consort - Cold and Raw
The Baltimore Consort - In a Garden So Green (Anon. Forbes 1622)
The Baltimore Consort ~ Une m'avoit promis This song is so beautiful, and was one of the early Baltimore Consort songs that I happened to hear, ha! One of those moments where your head whips around, and you say "What is That!?" appreciatively! Like finding a vein of gold is, to a miner. ;)
Missed Day 17 yesterday, but here it is... Erin's Christmas Album Advent continues. (I'm starting to run out of drafted posts of albums I actually love that are easily on spotify, so that'll make this interesting in the coming days...)
Baltimore Consort is an ensemble that performs European music in the style of the 16th and 17th centuries- English, Scottish, Italian, French... a classical and folk vibe. This is another great album for those looking to add some history to their Christmas music...
You'll recognize a few more familiar tunes, Ding Dong Merrily on High, Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen (Lo, How A Rose E'ere Blooming), but similar to An American Christmas (the Early American collection from day 6), I don't expect you to recognize most of the tunes. They're all very fun, and all songs historically sung about Yuletide.
Greensleeves - Renaissance style (by Zarataphs)

Re: Greensleeves, it’s mainly tempo - I want one that’s neither really fast nor really slow, and I haven’t found one.
This is the best recording there is, if you ask me, and I think it qualifies as neither too fast nor too slow. Although it is the duple-meter version. I like it better than the 6/8 version, myself.
As for versions with lyrics, there is always the ridiculously sexy version sung by Ian Bostridge. Britten's arrangement, so it's not period-style, but it is hotter than one might expect an incredibly famous 450-year-old song to be.

I fucking love the Baltimore Consort. And Spanish Renaissance music. And countertenors.
