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.

Peace, Mooh.
