The dances, at any rate, are authentic

I think the point of watching The Tudors is not playing the "recognise that tune" game. It's like Renaissance dancing class. "Wait, is that Upon a Summer's Day?" - "That sounds like the Pavane la Bataille. Ahahaha, it IS!"

It's fun though.

Much like half the fun in The Merchant of Venice was the "Tourdion! ... Folia! ... Bransle Cassandra!" effect. (The other half was Jeremy Irons.)

I'm SUCH a geek.

(They stole the Gondor theme too though. WTF. Whitehall =/= White Tree, guys.)

Ich glaube, der Sinn von Die Tudors liegt nicht darin, eine Plattform zum Renaissance-Tanzliederraten zu sein. Funktioniert aber gut. "Moment, ist das Upon a Summer's Day?" - "Klingt wie die Pavane la Bataille. Ahahaha, ist es auch!"

So, wie beim Kaufmann von Venedig ja auch der "Tourdion! ... Folia! ... Bransle Cassandra!"-Effekt der halbe Spaß ist. (Die andere Hälfte ist Jeremy Irons.)

Nutzloses Wissen FTW!

(Das Gondor-Thema haben sie auch geklaut. WTF. Whitehall =/= Minas Tirith, also echt.)

Ever since you uploaded all of that music, I've been finding myself playing that game too!

And now I may have to go off and watch the Tudors.

Awww... I want to be able to recognize such geeky musical things too ;_; But I am not that familiar with Renaissance dances and/or music. Congrats to you! XD

That reminds me, I want to watch The Tudors too!
