You can hear it read in Old English at http://www.heorot.dk/deor.html There is, to my English ears, a more evocative reading of Deor at: http://www.kami.demon.co.uk/gesithas/readings/deor_oe.html Click on the large letter at the start of each line to hear the line read by Steve Pollington. In particular, listen to the fall at the end of the final line of the poem. MIchael Haydn: thank you Hans for your reply. This explains the practice of improvising on baroque concerti, but I have only heard it done on the M. Haydn, not on the (admittedly few) recordings I have heard of other baroque concerti. Is it just then that the MH is the most often performed of these and a modern tradition has developed which has yet to reach other pieces?

It is also done with the Knechtel concertos (2), Pokorny etc., but we mostly know just the elaborated text by the editors. == MIchael Haydn: thank you Hans for your reply.

RE: [Hornlist] Michael Haydn Concerto now Old English Poem
Strange as it may seem now, I took 2 Old English / Middle English Lit courses 35 years ago as an undergrad. The professor was Donald Sands, whose book Middle English Verse Romances (Exeter Medieval English Texts and Studies), is a classic anthology. I pulled a few dusty books off the guest room shelves and looked through some of the Old English poems we studied. þaes ofereode - þisses swa maeg is from an anonymous Old English poem Deor and means that passed away: so may this.
