Britt,

I like Robin Williamson's version on the album, "Winter's Turning" as noted above in this thread. I've also heard a jazz version by Australian singer Cleo Laine. I like Williamson's better. Also I can highly recommend Barry Taylor's midi files which was recommended above - was that by Barry Taylor himself? Well he would be too modest to praise his own midi arrangements but they are the loveliest arrangements that I have found on the Web.

Also a lot of people pronounce the word wind (spelt "wynd" in the original) as "wined" as in "wined and dined" and they do this to rhyme with the word "unkind", but in fact it was probably the other way around. "Unkind" was probably pronounced "unkinned" (pronounced like "pinned") and "wind" pronounced as we know it now. The "y" in the "wynd" spelling doesn't mean that it should be pronouced as a "why" sound.

It makes more sense - as in ease of understanding - to promounce "wind" and "unkind" in the way that we say them rather than trying to prove a point which may be the wrong point. These words go back to Anglo-Saxon so that is the source of pronunciation guidelines.
