Performances in period costume, encouraging audience dancing, at Penshurst Place and Tudor workshops for schools have been a regular feature.
It is also used by a number of early music groups including Cancionero.
The Cancionero de Baena ("Songbook of Baena") was compiled between around 1426 to 1430 by the Marrano Juan Alfonso de Baena for John II of Castile.
In 1933, he entered the Instituto Pedagógico of the University of Chile, and qualified as a teacher of mathematics and physics in 1938, one year after his first book, Cancionero sin Nombre, appeared.
