I'll second that. What I would tend to suggest is that, for dance music,
you check with the local dance activists/teachers and ask them what they
teach and enjoy. For occasional music, whether vocal or instrumental,
you're better off developing your own repertoire than trying to learn the
"popular" items. Chances are that "top 10" is already well covered, and
goodness knows there is _lots_ of period music out there just dying to be
introduced to the SCA.
