This, I believe, is the thinking behind the current 'half-strength' OP. It
gives us a chance to savour an unfamiliar flavour, yet still enjoy both the
similarities and the differences.

Yes, the Hilliard Ensemble did quite a bit of
distils the essential bits you need to know at the end of the book.
But do listen to Charles Daniels for a treat. Probably up on YouTube by

Yes, the Hilliard Ensemble did quite a bit of this, and for the most
part I think it was very successful. Some rhymes work (things like
"move" and "love"), and some of our awkwardness with musical setting of
words (three syllables for endings like "tion" or "cion", for instance)
disappears. T
The Hilliard Ensemble made an album in the late 70s, I think, of
various songs, including lute songs with original pronounciation -
probably at the more extreme end of possibilities.
To my ear, Dowland's "Now oh now I needs must part" sounded like "Nay
oh nay oi needs moost pairt" -
