Thread Name: Songs For Spring Equinox/Easter?
Subject: RE: Songs For Spring Equinox/Easter?
"However, when I look at the product description for the book Rosie links to above I must admit to feeling more than a little nauseous."
That's sent me off into a proper hacking laughing fit..!
I rather suspected the synopsis there might cause some 'concern' :-]
You better not read the pages shown on the American Amazon without a bucket handy then...
The songs worked from the Carmina Burana linked to above, are jolly lovely. I've tried memorising songs in Latin before.. I do find it something of a grind unfortunately, erk. But I guess there's no reason why I couldn't apply my dodgy poetic talents to reworking translations into something like a singable English bodge.
Now where is that Medieval Babes back catalogue when you need it..?
