I've made a MIDI of the melody from Genie's and BillD's recordings. I raised it from Genie's C to the key of D. I'll submit the MIDI to Joe.
I'm interested in early music. If you want to hear what a troubador's song sounded like, it will sound a lot more like this:

The tune for 'The Nightingale Sings'is far more modern than any actual troubador song. But then, I don't think it's supposed to be taken seriously.
