Fancy that. All the more authentic for it, I should imagine.oleorezinator wrote:I hope you don't mind the tuning

Re: The Coventry Carol
I quite like that. Tuning seems fine to me.
I do have a quibble - the descending scale in the last line of the melody is not the tune. I think the crotchet minim rhythm is important in this piece.

Re: The Coventry Carol
Oh good grief! You've set me off now! I'm now trying to find sheet music for the original Thomas Mawdyke, three part version. I can't find it anywhere. You'd have thought that it would be readily available.
Any clue, anyone?

I agree. I learned the basic melodybenhall.1 wrote:I do have a quibble - the descending scale in the last line of the melody is not the tune. I think the crotchet minim rhythm is important in this piece.
from the singing of Tony Roberts
and Tony Barrand. Their version
wanders slightly from the original.
I made it into the easy-rocking teenage combo-
rennaissance dance band version ala Gryphon.
