I have just listened to it (on "listen again" - a wonderful service) and I have to disagree, they did discuss her vocal style, and how she has worked to...
Dear Simon, ... They gave some introductory facts relating to the content of each recording before they played them. However, all the tracks got the ...
Got my Dow and Bowie cds and they are GREAT. I copied off a few selections just by going to the page tab and then selecting the page and putting in the page...
Dear Jacqueline, Congratulations with the Dow and Bowie. How is the quality of the Dow? I'd be interested to know what selections you printed off first. ...
Lady of the Desert because someone asked me to learn it. And its pretty clear and easy to use and of course easy to store because my bookshelves are PACKED....
I received my copy of Dow and Bowie on Monday as well as the upgrade to Music Publisher 5. I did a printout of both Dow and Bowie last night on the laserjet...
Just drove back from Vancouver tonight, (five mountain passes) and drinking wine, AND, curiously, I dreamt about most of you last night, but I'm going to reply...
I so could care less about those little spreckles. When you think how old this thing is, and how it was not available to the general population before as a ...
Finally got mine ordered. I'm looking forward to seeing what these are like. Unfortunately my book shelves are full, and this will be a great space thrifty way...
You will love it Janet. Much easier to find the piece and run off one tune at a time then the whole book. Although Michael has a brillient idea with scanning...
I've just looked at Lady of the Desart in Bowie - it's variations seem very close to those noted by Bunting from Denis O'Hampsey's playing. I have wondered how...
... I scanned all of both books today. I have started to pull out the melodies and annotate for coupled hands. Next step is to transpose them to something that...
Now I will have to check the timing of O'Hampsey and Bowie. There was probably like today certain pieces that got swapped around and played often among...
You all should already have a copy of Bunting's field notebook where he scribbles down what Denis O'Hampsey plays him - it is reproduced on page 27 of Gráinne...
Dear Simon, ... It's an interesting point this. '1st var an 8th lower' is how Colette Moloney reads this. '2nd var' would make more sense, as the second...
Does anyone know any wire harpers in the south part of England? I've been talking to someone in Bexhill and I think she needs to meet other layers. - Janet ...
Ooops - I meant PLAYERS not layers!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Bunting was done in 1840 - were Ports part of the mainstay in 1840 or 1789? as different for them as they...
From what we can see in the Bunting MS. it seems unlikely that he did much alteration at first to the tunes. His employers at the Belfast Festival asked him to...
Folks, Question: What do people make of the 24 measures in Bunting? : ) Contribution: Ref. my wierd esoteric study into ogam/harp relations actually cam upon...
Hi JP, ... The 24 measures are genuine, interesting Medieval Welsh things, with important and fascinating connections to older Irish music. i.e. the medieval...
... Top marks for that observation - I like it a lot. If you turn to page 242 of Calder's edition, the "same" passage appears in the "long text" of the...
Hello Chad, nice to see you here, hope things are going well. I agree with all you say, thats why I posted a pointer to a published facsimile of the first...
Though having said I like it, and it fits certain cosmological schemes ... Cosmology, hmm... gives new meaning to "string theory". What's Gaelic for "dark...
... Cheers and ditto for the reference inoriginal Irish! It is just a crime that this text has not been re, or even fully translated... ... My thanks to the...
Dear Simon, ... appears in the "long text" of the Auraicept, though Calder does not give a translation. On line 4581, is the line that in the short text ...
