Also (Tudors pet peeve/spoilers)

Posted by znufrii, cliqueless (aka znufrii) Feb 18 '09, 08:09

as much as I enjoyed their using Tallis' "Spem in Alium" in season one, it's about 8 years premature. He didn't actually write it until 1937.

And much of the court music they're using is stuff by Michael Praetorius, who wasn't born until 1571.

If it completely accurate historically, it would be rather dull -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Feb 18, 08:24 1
- true, but they're also missing some great opportunities (spoilers) - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 08:27
They play fast and loose with the time. That's what happens when single episodes cover multiple years. -- nm - Ender Feb 18, 08:23 1
- yeah, I covered one of the more egregious examples on B2 (spoilers) - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 08:25
and in the IM... - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 08:13
there is a difference between getting the flavor of the era, and getting everything perfect -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 08:11 5
- and I don't fault them for that. I'm probably one of the few people who would even notice :) - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 08:12 4
  - The music caught my ear as very Elizabethan too. -- nm - Max Feb 18, 08:19
  - I'm impressed by your depth of knowledge on the subject, that said, I'm helping you lighten up so a clique will take you in ;p -- nm - crash davis Feb 18, 08:13 2
    - don't worry about me, I wouldn't belong to any club that would have me as a member. :) -- nm - znufrii, cliqueless Feb 18, 08:14 1
      - but there is safety in numbers when we have dance fights ala the Jets/Sharks - crash davis Feb 18, 08:21
