Hurrah! The advance music for the Early Music for Folk Musicians workshop has arrived and is now being sent out. We still have places left for both workshops - the music for the Interpretation of Traditional Music worskhop will be ready soon as well.

'Here are some parts for the historical workshop. Ah Robin and Soldiers Three are unaccompanied vocals. La Mantovana is instrumental.

La Coranto and My Lord of Oxenford are cut & paste copies to be going on with, I will prepare better ones. Tell people not to worry about the little fiddly notes, that's just editorial stuff.

The distinction between vocal and instrumental is not absolute, there are several pieces which are suitable for both - as there are people in the workshop who both sing and play. We will have basically vocal repertoire for one session and basically instrumental for the other, but I think we will end up mixing things.'
