A 16th century English Christmas Carol. Somehow adapting the old-world harmonization to the ukulele was quite an interesting challenge. Played on my good old Brüko No.6, which turns out to be a great fit for early music!

A wonderful harpsichord piece of the Renaissance composer Marco Facoli. Amazing how nicely it plays with the ukulele.

Another solo arrangement of an old German Christmas carol. A simple version of it is available in the free e-book “Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger”.

One of the many pieces from Michael Praetorius’ collection called Terpsichore.

One of the oldest tunes known to mankind. It was found on an ancient greek stele. Wikipedia: Seikilos epitaph Works nicely with the ukulele IMHO.

A little solo arrangement of an old German Christmas carol. A simple version of it is available in the free e-book “Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger”.

The pieces from Choan Gálvez’ e-book are fun to play, and the musical typesetting is really nice too!

Another wonderful celtic harp piece, composed by the blind irish harp player Turlough O’Carolan. His unique melodic style has a very renaissance-like feel to me! So I hid a little bit of renaissance music within this arrangement. Do you recognize it?  

A fascinating piece from the blind harp player Turlough O’Carolan. Played on my Brüko No.6.

A very simple arrangement of the theme of Handel’s Sarabande. Again from “Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger”.
