Dear most honorable
ReplyDeleteMister/Madam Ronnie Phillips,
As a musician (vocal, early brass, organ) I am interested in the origin of early british chirch music. Well before the area of Winchester Troparium and Old Hall MS. Especially, the influenze of Celtic, Anglo-Saxon and North-German (Norse Old-Frisian) music on the Early british church-song
Maybe, it is possible to get a hand-out of the lections as given on May 24-th 2010 at the 15th Oxfort-Cambridge Celtic colloquium
Old Music room St.John college Cambridge.
In forward,
My Cincere thanks
with kindly regards
