Early Music MP3s

Early music MP3s by groups and artists from anywhere (but for now primarily from the Chicago area).  The indicated times are for playback.  Download times (not shown) will vary according to size of the sound files, network load, and bandwidth.  When preparing these audio clips from the original source media, we reduce the sample rate and take other measures in order to shrink the file sizes, thereby decreasing download times.  In all cases, the original source media will have superior sound quality.  Note that for many of the longer music files, shorter excerpts are available for faster downloading.
