Musicians wooing below
Serenaders are people who serenade—who sing or play music for someone, traditionally beneath a window at night as a romantic gesture.
The term extends to any group performing such music: The serenaders gathered on the lawn outside her dormitory.
Street musicians or carolers might also be called serenaders.
