My main point is that true historical re-enactment is
not fantasy, but a desire to generate public awareness of our great
heritage.
For a number of years, I was music director for Poculi Ludiquae
Societas, the medieval drama society at the University of Toronto's
Institute of Medieval Studies during the 1980s:

We were committed to meticulous historical research as well as lively
performances. My job was to select music appropriate to the time and
culture of the plays being performed, and to provide suitable musicians
to perform it. We worked in very close association with the
professional early music performers in Toronto, to everyone's mutual
benefit.
We used to cringe whenever anyone mentioned the Society for Creative
Anachronism!
