Yes. I had some hopes for that but they were dashed. Everyone sings renaissance songs like it's opera. I thought he would sing them in a normal voice, but he didn't. I think there might be some good songs from the era that are ruined by the performance style.
Joni Mitchell played the dulcimer a lot and wrote some of her earlier songs on it, then altered her guitar tunings for them.
I saw a baroque harp on Antiques Roadshow once. It was not playable and the musical instrument guy said that's always the case because the tension tears them apart.
On a slightly different note, I was thinking about this old folk song maybe best known from Joan Baez or Dolly Parton. Here's Roger McGuinn, with a little of that 8 Miles High thing in the solos.
