I should have asked 'received pronunciation' (?) of Laten in Anglican church of today.. There is no received pronunciation of Latin in the Anglican Church of today. Latin is not the language normally used in the Anglican church today. Nor was it in the Elizabethan era. If it is used it

I forgot to mention an interesting book that was published a few years ago by Indiana University Press entitled 'Singing Early Music'. It is edited by Timothy McGee and covers the pronunciation of European Languages in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance. There are chapters on Anglo-Latin and

When the famous musicologist Donald Jay Grout came to my college, he responded to an homologous question (should Bach be played on a piano, perhaps ???), “If it is worth doing, it is worth doing badly”. Ray Nurse said we haven’t had an early music revival, we’ve had an early instrument revival.

It would be interesting to know when Robert Spencer made his comment. Some years ago now, I suspect, and many aspects of early music performance have probably evolved positively since. If a good quality lute in the right hands is played in an appropriate acoustic (here in France we are lucky t

But I agree with you wholeheartedly! But then, I like to read Le Morte d'Arthur in its original; not everyone's cup of tea, you'd have to agree. One of my pet peeves is that everybody in early music is a specialist these days (well, was, but that's another pet peeve) except for the

Dear David, I think that it is very unfortunate that early pronunciation has not become a more essential part of performing practice. If one looks at the work carried out by David Crystal and his son Ben, notably for the Globe Theatre productions of Shakespeare, the benefits seem to far outwei

Dear Tomoko, Try GoogleTranslate. Put your fraze in the space on the left, choose a language you think it is in, and press the little speaker underneath. Then keep changing languages until you think it rhymes best with ‘Ave María’. Stupid but works ;) Jerzy — > On 23 Apr 2017, at 17:02, luteni

Konnichiwa Tomoko-san Vivat Eliza = Long live (Queen) Elisabeth. So as English-Latin as you like the Vivat, and then as English-English as you like Eliza. This little song cycle has some more Latin in it. Either make it period-English-Latin, or make it clearly Latin. There are dif
