Thread Name: Help: Der Gooden Fluyt Hemel (Dutch recorder music
Subject: RE: help with Dutch (?) song
Speaking of apostrophes, at an earlier session I was given a Dutch song about the coming of night, and the first word was 'SNachts. (or 'Snachts) I was told that the 'S was short for a preposition. Interesting.
Like in the 'local' name for The Hague Den Haag, or 'S Gravenhage

Cheers
