Dear Edward, Sean, Stewart and all,
for some of the early polyphony in organum style barring is used, if it is notated in
non-modal/non-mensural notation (e.g. pieces in neumatic notation in the Codex
Calixtinus which - if the dating is still valid - comes from the middle of the twelfth
century
Dear Jon,
I'm afraid you cannot have your cake and eat it. You say that songs
such as the Willow Song lack validity. I take this to mean that one
cannot be absolutely sure that the Willow Song as copied in Lbl Add
15117 is the same melody and/or accompaniment that was sung on stage
for the earlies
Dear Daniel and Sean,
Many thanks for these two paintings, which are the right period.
All the best,
Stewart McCoy.

Dear John,
thank you for your kind advice. What I learned about English
is that its written form didn't follow the changing
pronunciation over the centuries, and that around 1500 the
sound of the vowels for example was quite the same as they
were written. I understand that spelling in German f

I should certainly refrain from recommending technical literature.
As for me, any pronunciation dictionary is as good as the other, depending on the
price. I appreciate the basics but do not want to go into details too much. E.g. I got

In the painting by Jan Brueghel the Elder called The Sense of Hearing there is a table
set up for a seven piece consort to sit around. Has anyone ever seen such a table in a
museum? Any modern version of it? Know where I could get measurements or plans for
such a table?
Thank you,
Craig

I agree. "Putting on" an accent is one thing, but reproducing someone
else's speech perfectly is very difficult. It can only be accomplished
successfully by skilled, highly trained professional performers

Good People -
The conventional wisdom regarding theatrical stage is
that if one cannot do a good job at an accent, one
should not do it at all (this explains why in a recent
Robin Hood movie, for example, the main character
sounded like a Yank - that and Kevin Costner can't
act).

Stewart ,
How do you keep track of these past discussions? Do you have a
photographic memory? :-)
Is there a way to search the archives? I couldn't figure it out last
time I visited. It seems the messages are in folders by year or month
which would mean opening each folder and searching.

Well said all, accents are learned in youth. But actors can sometimes do
them well. Yet there is one group who can do them perfectly. I'm sure I
mentioned that I came to instruments in recent years when my main instrument
got too old (at 68 my voice ain't what it used to be). Singers can make any

Sixty odd years of singing and an assumption that human nature hasn't
changed that much. If you can't remember your part, fake it. I just did a
