At the 1982 LSA Seminar, the late Richard Jensen gave a presentation, "Pronunciation of Elizabethan English," with examples sung by Mary Beverley. A cassette tape is available for sale to LSA members (#T-6). But one of my future projects is to post an mp3 of this, and the other lectures given at the Rochester Michigan seminars, in the members section of the LSA website. Maybe sooner, rather than later, of this particular talk, now that an interest has been raised. -Anne

I have been wondering when "OP" singers would appear on the stage :) I have a few questions: * are there any OP singers of Lute song? It seems if there were, you would have included a video... * how did Dowland perform his songs in for example Wolfenbüttel? Or did he just play solo lute? (this question to all) * as a native speaker of English (if you are), how does OP sound to your ear? For me as a German native I find OP much more down to earth but also more poetic. I agree with "posh" for BBC English. (I suspect Upper class English is Anglosaxon English with a French (Norman) accent. Compare "Oh Hello!" to "Heir hair lair!" :)) Am 18.02.2018 um 19:31 schrieb Martin Shepherd: > Hi All, > > The latest luteshop blog treats a subject which many of us find > difficult and interesting: > > http://luteshop.co.uk/its-not-just-what-you-say-its-how-you-say-it/ > > Best wishes, > > Martin > > > > --- > This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. > https://www.avast.com/antivirus > > > > To get on or off this list see list information at > http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html >
