    Ah nice... that was great. And coincidentally, a few days ago NPR had another fantastic countertenor, Anthony Roth Costanzo on Tiny Desk, too. p.s. If you like this sort of "simple" pre-Classical...

    p.s. If you like this sort of "simple" pre-Classical (Medieval/Renaissance/Baroque) style music, Joculatores Upsalienses has a ton of stuff on Spotify that I highly recommend. I listen to them a lot, especially when playing "Medieval" games (Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis 4, Mount & Blade, etc). ;)

      Alpha Classics, the label that produces this also has a lot of super high-quality stuff, e.g. l'Arpeggiata: https://youtu.be/Y6BQnj6S4W0?t=32
