Until such time as the MMM can record and produce a CD, here are some
suggestions on what is commercially available. CD Baby is a great
resource -- no connection other than a satisfied custormer. The same for
the other merchants mentioned. I either own each CD listed or I have
heard it/danced to it from another dance instructor. 

Bransles:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/wolgemut03   $12.95 (Track list: Double, Single,
Gay, Burgundian, Tourch, Charlotte, Pease, Maltese, Scottish, Official,
Pinagay, Hay, Montarde, Washerwoman's, Horse's Bransles).
