Still accepting suggestions for tunes for York! Don't be shy, suggest your English medieval/renaissance favorites now! And in addition to the formats below,...
Costumes for York We want people to really put in an effort on costume for the fest. Bill Tuck showed me an image of some medieval musicians. I wish I could ...
A really appropriate tune would be "Edi beo thu, Hevene Quene", a medieval English hymh. The top part fits very well on the tabor pipe, and the rhythm is 6;8....
Good thought, thanks! And no need to scan, found it at http://www.leeds.ac.uk/music/Info/RRTuneBk/gettune/00000d98.html I can take what I found there and edit...
Good choice From the Henry VIII time I like Pastime with Good Company, and Blow They Horn Hunter. There are some other ones from that period like Dulcis...
Steve ... For those of us who have a bit (or more) of yesteryear and yore in our closets, what is the most desireable date range for costuming? Is the optimal...
Dear All, Once we have a date for the costumes - Steve please let us know a soon as you can - I can arrange for you to have a jolly good basic outfit made to ...
all the first record of the plays performed on waggons was 1376. The plays were banned in 1568. so the costume should be appropriate to this era Gillian ... ...
I've added a York 2006 folder under Musical Files in the file section. It contains a start at the music we'll be using at the International Pipe and Tabor...
Thank you for the downloadable tunes, Dennis. I am looking forward to learning them. I can open the files in Word, but cannot read them. I think the music...
for ladies costumes, if it's medieval (rather than tudor/Elizabethan), there are some simple guidelines that can help... the dress would have been made of...
Thanks for the feedback. They worked on all the machines I tried them on, but those are also machines on which I've installed Noteworthy Composer, which is ...
The York Guild have asked us for C15th. The amount of information about costume decreases the further back you go. 1450 is our target. Henry VI. Not...
Must admit I'm a bit concerned about these costume requirements - I don't have anything that fits the bill and not thinking just of myself could this not be a...
If you're having trouble reading Dennis's music files, you can download Noteworthy Composer for free at www.freedownloadscenter.com/Multimedia_and_Graphics/ ...
Thank you for the advice, but Noteworthy will not work on AppleMac, and there is nothing for Mac that will read noteworthy files (AFAIK). It is not quite worth...
Yes, there will still be plenty on offer at the festival - see the web-site, but to play in the Mystery plays on the Sunday you do need the costume. Perhaps...
Dear Steve, Fashions changed quite rapidly within this time. If you let me know which date within the range Gillian has given us, 1376-1576, the organiser ...
I favour the latter end of the C15th. Gives us more scope of being in keeping with the music - there is much more available from that period than earlier, and...
... How about a virtual PC on the Mac? :-) Never mind... I found a way to do PDF files that should work to meet all my goals. I've loaded them in the files...
There are a couple of Windows emulators that enable me to run Windoze files in Linux. I haven't got around to trying Noteworthy Composer, but there might be a...
I had a reply from the York Guilds. He said that most of the groups are using 1470, the date of the surviving manuscript. So 1470 it is, say 15 years either...
James II was well out of the period in question, ruling from 1685 to 1688, when he was deposed by William and Mary. Bob Ellis ... From: "KENNETH HAMILTON"...
I share Vicky's concern about costume. I wouldn't know where to start when it comes to making a medieval costume (or any other kind of clothes for that matter...
If the time period is to be 1455-1485, then some of the tunes Dennis has included in the repertoire would be anachronistic. "Pastime with Good Company" and...
The original requirement for tunes was that they should be from the time period in which the mystery plays were originally performed, i.e. 1375 - 1568. In my...
