Neil- you recently turned me on to Blackmore's Night and I'm most grateful. Ritchie Blackmore has always been a favorite of mine and Candice Night, while no Annie Haslam, is certainly easy on the ears (and eyes). I can't believe I missed them for so many years but they never got any FM radio play around here so I guess our paths never crossed.
I'm hooked on the sound of Renaissance-era music done by contemporary artists. I know you studied baroque and renaissance music and became proficient with it.
My question to you is, what gives this music it's tell-tale sound? Is is alternate tunings like DADGAD? Or, I suspect, is it more modal? I know many prog rock bands have played with it frequently with varying results.
Thanks for the education!

Welcome to the club... B)
Far cry from the days of Deep Purple and Rainbow, but very enjoyable. Ritchie has always been a fan of this style and finally went with it.
