Try "Greatest Hits of the 18th Century" which has an arrangment
for Dulcimer

see http://www.gilamountaindulcimers.com/books4a.htm

Also Loreena McKennitt has also recorded this so its possible those
fans have guitar tablature ("tabs").

introduction


I'm passing this msg along in case other renaissance music fans would
care to learn about Lise:
   -- Your Humble Webmastre
============================

Hi. I wanted to introduce myself: I am the lead singer in a 
Renaissance band called The Spirites Consort (web: 
www.LiseWinne.com). I just happened to come across Owain Phyfe's 
music and website a few weeks ago and was floored by the music, 
the musicianship and the fact that a band like this existed! Truly 
a remarkable talent and find! You'll have to excuse me: most of my 
music has been in the singer-songwriter vein and I have been most 
concentrated in that direction. However, I came out with my own 
Renaissance CD a year ago only because the music of the period was 
a burning interest: I carried a virtual library of Dorian 
recordings on long drives to recording sessions where I was at 
work on my original material. Like Owain, this period in music 
lived in my brain and I couldn't get it out. Even Scott, the 
engineer and producer for the project (used to recording folk acts 
like Pete Seeger; James Taylor; and Jay Unger and Molly Mason from 
the Ken Burn's Civil War series) got the Renaissance bug and 
played along.
    Anyway, I look forward to hearing the rest of Owain's 
recordings and will link as soon as I can.

Re: Sheet music

Hello. Let me preface by saying that I absolutely love the New World Renaissance Band.  I do hope that more cd's are on the way!
 
I am getting married this August and I was wondering if it was possible to obtain sheet music for "In A Garden So Green" and a couple of other selections from various recordings.  I'm not sure if this would be a copyright violation?  I am not a musician myself but I am trying to supply the musicians I have contracted with ceremony music in a Renaissance vein.  Another issue that I have is that they will not be playing with period instruments, only organ and trumpet.  Someone told me that they might be able to play from open score?  The vocalist I have is experienced with early music, so she is up for anything. 
 
Please let me know what you advise.
 
Many, many thanks!

You need to find volumes of Musica Brittanica, which may be available at
a local university library

"The purpose of the SCA is to educate - this is why we're classified as a
non-profit education. We educate people about the way people lived prior to 1600.
As a member of the SCA, your mission should be to go to the library and do some
studying on how things WERE done back then, and I can see that you have done so,
but you have missed a few spots. If you can find "Musica Brittanica" in a nearby
library, this should get you started on a path to some fantastic stuff you might
have otherwise missed. BTW - the sheet music for the stuff on "On the Banks of
Helicon" is in volume XV - "Scots 1500-1700" and it's all in English. Here's an
excerpt of a song from, I believe, 1640 or so (1650 is a controversial ending
point for SCA, but I DO fudge it here for good music that is still in the proper
STYLE):"

Re: Re: Sheet music

I also dearly love the music of the NWRB.  Is the music to DAPHNE in Musica Brittanica?  If not, where can I obtain it?  Thanks, Char
