Subject: RE: The mother of all tunes? From: The Mole Catcher's Apprentice (inactive) Date: 20 Feb 08 - 05:25 PM Spem In Alium by Thomas Tallis, what an incredible piece of music it is. I just ordered a recording of it by The Taverner Consort and Choir. Charlotte (watching the YouTube video as we talk) |

Subject: RE: The mother of all tunes? From: Jack Campin Date: 20 Feb 08 - 05:45 PM What seems to be the oldest notated song in the world http://www.greenwych.ca/evidence.htm sounds a lot like "Merrily We Roll Along". |

Subject: RE: The mother of all tunes? From: GUEST Date: 20 Feb 08 - 06:19 PM sounds a lot like "Merrily We Roll Along". I think you might be right, am just notating in down, I'll try it on the piano a bit later on. Charlotte (the view from Ma and Pa's piano stool) |
