Merry Men (and Women)

For this multi-media (mm) project I'll be focusing on the newly formed folk group Thunder & Spice. This group of Merry men (and women) love the music from the Renaissance period--think the days of King Henry VIII. The group wants to reintroduce the music of days long ago to contemporary society.
I think now -literally- is a great time to talk about and highlight that period of music. The movie "Robin Hood" has just been released and we will hear a lot of this kind of music (both instrumental and with words). Just as the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies have inspired a new era of pirates, the "Robin Hood" movie serves as a great way to highlight this genre of music and maybe even inspire a few singers and musicians to get involved. There are four members of the group, one of whom is a teenager. I'm curious as to why she gives up her weekends for North Carolina Renaissance Faires when she could be at the mall or something with her friends. The other three are adults and also volunteer their weekends at Faires. Why? What is the motivation? What about the music of the period draws them in? I will use audio (like that found here) and photographs. This audio is a little snippet of a song Thunder & Spice call "Lobo." Sung in Spanish and loosely translated, the song tells the story of an encounter of a beautiful young girl and a dangerous and dastardly wolf.
