Subject: RE: Tune Add: The Hole in the Wall: Henry Purcell
the Oxford Companion offers for The tudor period; Domestic keyboard pitch 3 semitones below modern concert pitch Secular Vocal pitch same as modern Church Organ pitch a tone higher. And re Bach; in some cantatas ... the voice string and organ parts in A or Bb and the woodwind in C .. the exact pitch might depend on the organ where the work was performed.
