Did the Japanese culture ever influenced British Renaissance music?

[leighannrowell]

I am an american but I must say Germans and Japanese are the definition of discipline and quality

[stephenkunst]

Nice, esp as there is no vibrato from the vocalist.

[GableVision]

Stiff, should be much more dynamic and moveable: dáns!
