Re: Opium-smoking vocal composers ?

Hi all I did some Googling and found the recording I told about - well actually a 2-CD version of the old 3-LP recording. The page I found is: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B02SSB/102-5627750-3067359?v=glance#product-details and the recording is The Art of Courtly Love

Re: Opium-smoking vocal composers ? [was:Judentanz Neusidler etc.]

A little research produces this: Who were the fumeurs? The context of this question is the Ars Subtilior music from the end of the 14th century in France. Several songs from that repertory include references to fumeurs & fumeux

Re: Judentanz Neusidler etc.

Dear Mathias, I know that! The text in this vocal piece seemed to leave nothing to doubt though, with lines like "head in the clouds of smoke" "lost in the smoke" or similar things. Quite extraordinary... B.R. G. On 6/8/05, "Mathias Rösel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > "G.R. Crona" <[EMAIL PROTEC

Miserere my maker

Dear Ed, I don't think there is much about continuo realisation which we can learn from this particular setting involving the lyra viol. The chances are that we know more about Caccini now than the person who produced that mangled version of Miserere did then. I would give Robert Dowland a bit mo

Swan Lute Book

Dear Arthur, The outside cover of the Swan Lute manuscript is included in the facsimile. I have had another look at it, and I am inclined to agree with Tim Crawford that the motto reads, "Inconcussa manet" (She remains steadfast). Out of curiosity I searched for "Inconcussa manet" via Google, and
