Re: [abcusers] what's the problem with the Tune Finder?

[Jack Campin]

 Two things I'm looking for which ought to be out there: (1) a tune
 called The Old Polka, quite often played in Scotland, and (2) the
 simple Renaissance dance tune (frottola?) Schiarazula Marazula,
 in four parts, which I thought I had on paper but can't locate now
 I need it.
 According to my own Musica Viva Sheet Music Search, you can find the
 Old Polka at La Taberna:

Fortunately the TuneFinder came back up - that's a 1.7Mb zip archive
on a slow site.  There are two versions out there, of a tune I know,
but both seem to be different from what I was looking for (a four-
section tune).


 As for Schiarazula Marazula, I seriously doubt there's an ABC
 of that one on internet, but here's a quick transcription

Thanks!  There's less going on in the lower parts than I thought
there was, but it'll still do fine for what I have in mind (as a
first multi-part piece for a children's recorder group).

[abcusers] alchemical music

[Jack Campin]

I've put the music from Michael Maier's Atalanta Fugiens (1617-18) on
my website; it's more or less a song cycle on making the Philosopher's
Stone, for three voices, based on a plainsong cantus firmus.

In the reading of related material I've been doing lately, I came across
what I believe to be the toughest copyright restriction in history, at
the beginning of:

http://www.esotericarchives.com/juratus/juratus.htm

(It's for real; this tradition goes back as far as the work is traceable,
though quite how it fits in with putting it on the web is not too clear).

I was kinda tempted, but no I haven't insisted on anything like that.
