Thanks Christian, I really appreciate your response to my email about singing at
Lilies. I already have copies of my music for the KWC at Pennsic and will make
copies of the following and come join you at Lilies. What day will this start?
I am arriving at noon Friday with a merchant.

Jayne

Good day, Jayne! This is what we posted to the Calontir listserv:


Howdy, my brothers and sisters, from Christian d'Hiver and Kasha Alekseeva,

This year, we will reprise our "Noontime Singing" at Lilies, every day of the
war, in some corner or another of the RUSH pavilion. Everyone is welcome to
come and sing. You don't need to read music. You don't need to have pieces
already rehearsed. You don't need a trained voice, or a trained ear, or, well,
much of anything other than a love of music and a willingness to sing with
others. This is just for fun: practicing pieces so that they're performable is
nice, but that isn't our main goal.

The pieces we'd like to sing include:

Sumer is Icumin In, anon. 13th C.
sheet music: http://maucamedus.net/PDF/sumer.pdf
<http://maucamedus.net/PDF/sumer.pdf>
a MIDI (a little too fast): http://maucamedus.net/midi/sumer.mid

Dixit Maria (by popular demand)
sheet music: http://www.cpdl.org/wiki/images/sheet/hassler/has-dix2.pdf

section)

We'll be prepared to work on any of the pieces the Known World Choir is planning
to perform at Pennsic this year:

<http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/KWChoir/files/Pennsic%20Music%202009/>

(Christian is particularly enchanted with "Thanks, Gentle Moon", and we already
know a version of "Stella Splendens")


We'll also bring back the pieces we sang last year, but --and this is the
important part-- we welcome *you* to bring period music *you'd* like to sing.
(We brought four or five copies last year, which proved to be barely sufficient.
Learn from our mistakes, and bring six or seven copies.)

Sincerely,
Iia Kasha
Lord Christian
