Subject: RE: Origins: Dona Nobis Pacem (round)
Just an aside...I found DNP attributed to "anomynous" in a book of "classical" themes published by Hal Leonard. Do the big publishers, of which Hal Leonard must be a giant, take reasonable care to search out authorship? Methinks it would be a great job for a researcher. Or do they just rehash previous wisdom, however inaccurate, and claim copyright?
For what it's worth, DNP is a pretty good tune for string players to learn ensemble playing without playing the same part, and for fingerstyle guitarists to play to give the thumb and fingers very different jobs.
