It sounds ridiculous but I promise I’m being serious. I’m looking for instrumental songs that are from the middle ages / the renaissance, with fun and fast-paced beats that just makes you wanna dance to it. Think of the POTC soundtrack but medieval. An example is the song “Im Maien” by Piffaro. I’m writing a story at the moment that takes place during this time and I could really use some upbeat, party bangers as inspiration lmao.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but the Bardcore genre is the modern equivalent - pop songs retrofitted with medieval aesthetic.

I have listened to that! While they’re funny, I can’t take them very seriously, especially when writing. :')
Yeah, I still consider it pop music first. Not sure how prolific actual historical works are, but fantasy/period soundtracks might have to suffice. Good luck!
