The Lost Art of Wooing by Jeni Melia Jeni Melia : The Lost Art of Wooing.
 Elizabethan lute and folk song.

Melia and Goodwin give us a delicate paean to a subtler age on The Lost Art of Wooing, the followup to their highly successful Last of Old England. Elizabethan England produced some of the most beautiful love songs ever written, and Melia's finespun soprano makes them sound especially lovely, as does the trio's preference for a natural, straightforward recording style. Together, they effortlessly rekindle a culture that was in love with love...one in which serenades were so common that city ordinances had to be passed banning singing beneath windows.
