 Could be - should have thought of that one. But don't confuse a modern
folk version with an "original" version. Many of the poems and tunes, 
although both drawn from tradition, met each other for the first time 
in `A Scots Minstrelsie' and in Thomson's publications - which were for
drawing-room performance. So any current performances by folk groups
and singers - Jean Redpath, Five-hand reel, Tannahill Weavers, Ossian -
are simply re-interpretations in the contemporary folk idiom, _not_
`performances on original instruments'.
For the record, Burns cited `an old man' as the source of the words of
`Auld Lang Syne' and, as far as I know, the two or three versions around 
all stem from Burns' own pen. The Chandos recorded version (which is about 
as `period' as you're likely to get) was arranged by Leopold Kozeluch 
(d. 1818).

Keywords: Viol, gamba, fun, guilt.

As the weather turns crisp and the trees begin to shiver and shake
their polychrome plumage, our thoughts naturally turn to home and
hearth and our families... from hell.  Yes, soon Thanksgiving will
be upon us, and though for some it is a picture right out of Norman
Rockwell, for others--like me--it's much closer to Hieronymus Bosch.

And every year I try ever more desperately to find something--any-
thing--else to do, even the flimsiest excuse, than endure an extended
weekend of torture with my lunatic parents.  And I finally found it!
(Wait, that didn't come out quite right.)  Anyway, if you too are a
viol player looking for refuge from an oppressively neurotic
household, relief is on the way!  Announcing...

>> THE FIRST ANNUAL GAMBISTS FROM DISFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES WORKSHOP! <<

* November 26 through 29
* at Indiana University (Bloomington, IN)
* featuring the incomparable Wendy Gillespie!

Details are still rather vague and depend on (a) how many people want
to attend, and (b) a collective ability to transcend the guilt and
have fun.  Oh OK, OK, (c) MY ability to transcend said guilt and
organize the damned thing.  If you're interested call or send e-mail.

"Gee, I'd love to, Mom, but I'm already committed to doing this very
important music workshop.  What?  Yes, I know it's an odd time, but
these world-class players, you know, they're always sooo busy, you
have to take advantage of whatever precious moments they can make
available.  Yes, I'm sorry too.  Maybe next year."   Heh, heh.

   For Mehmet and any others who might be wondering, a good place to look for
stuff like this is the Berkshire Record Outlet, a mail-order outfit
specializing in cut-out LPs.  Most earlym-l folks probably know about it
already, but for those who don't, the phone number is (413) 243-4080.  They'll
send you a catalogue if you call and ask.

I once heard an "original" version of Auld Lang Syne-- both original music and
language -- I wish I had taped it -- it was magnificient.
 
If I remember correctly it was on the Thistle and Shamrock, which is aired
on NPR in many areas -- try calling your local NPR station to see if they
can get you in touch with the producers -- they can likely point you to
the recording I heard, along with others of Burns' music . . .

The set is already available for several months. I heard some excerpts

         "Mastering INTERNET Tools, Seizing METANET Power" -
                    "The InterMeta Course"
 
     Begining on October 10, the InterMeta Course will describe
the History of the Metanetwork and cover the basic utilities used
to access the network, as well as to guide users through the
Internet's, Bitnet's, (and othernets') "databases of databases"
to access files and archives available. Some of the topics to be
presented in the InterMeta Course are how to (1)Remote Login,
(2)Use Electronic Mail, (3)Move a File, (4)Find Software,
(5)Locate a Person, (3)Deal with Network Problems. An index that
covers a selection of resources available on the Internet,
ranging from Card Catalogs to Archives for USENET news will also
be delivered.
     In addition, some sessions will help UNIX, VMS, VAX and DOS
users to interface their systems to the Net.
     Resulting from five years of researching and using the
Network, the InterMeta Course is being prepared by Gelson
Gomes, Ph.D. The InterMeta is the first experience of a Global
Scale Course utilizing a matrix of connected networks, the
Metanetwork.
     Dr. Gomes is a professor at the Federal University of Parana
and is conducting research on the Computer Industries of Brazil
and Taiwan. He got his Doctoral Degree on Science and Technology
Public Policy at The George Washington University (Washington
D.C.).
     The course will be ministered from Brazil; to help
recovering local communication costs, (PDN is very expensive in
Brazil) a flat $ 5 US dollars donation is requested.

You might try Schott on Gt. Malborough Street in London.  I think
they're number 42, but wouldn't swear to it -- if you decide to follow
up on this and need the address, I'll see if I can dig it up.

I don't play keyboard, but I visit Schott frequently to dig through
their recorder music, which is very extensive.  They have quite a
number of shelves devoted to keyboard music, and, on the whole, lean
somewhat towards the earlier repertoire (they publish extensively for
recorder and also house a branch of Bradford's Early Music Shop in the
basement), so I would be hopeful.

You might also contact the Early Music Shop themselves (the address
was posted early in the Summer on this group), though I would think
you could get any of their music through von Heune, since the Workshop
is some sort of agent in this country for EMS.

I just wanted to thank James Quinn, Ray Brohinsky, and John Russell for coming
to my rescue with your fine suggestions regarding my request for music that
would work well for soprano voices and recorders.  Your advice is very helpful
in dealing with the high enrollment of sopranos and recorder players in my
early music performance class here at Towson State University this semester.
 
It is so nice to be able to exchange ideas.  I hope I can be of some service

: Excellent post, Ray -- a definite keeper.  One quick correction,

: up a minor third, or, if that results in too many flats for your taste

Thanks, I needed that.

Actually, though, you're a good half right: I use the violin version
with my wife-the-violinist, using a tenor recorder. There are C#'s,
for which I have to close the bell with my leg (looks weird, but
works). She won't transpose at sight, and I'm too work-loaded to
do it by hand or CopyistDTP, so we do skip some movements altogether.

For altos, yes, the transposition is just right.

 There are 2 recordings of the piece that I know of - 
a recent one by the Scottish Early Music Consort on Chandos, the other 
by Fischer-Dieskau, Jorg Demus, and others on DG (from the 1970 Beethoven 
bicentenary edition - because the arrangement, for piano trio and several 
(3?) voices was commissioned from Beethoven by George (?) Thomson, an 
Edinburgh publisher). 
Is that the "original" version you mean? And what do you mean 
original language -
Burns re-wrote some traditional poetry for Thomson, but I didn't think
this was one of them. (The Chandos version is sung in Scots - so it might
sound different to, how shall I put it, untrrrrained ears - even those of
Irish ancestry.)

Hi!
I just recieved my first email account, thanks to the new PC lab they set up
in the Chemistry Building. Now that I've settled into the program here, I
have a few minutes to get back to my other interests.
 
I am looking for a Harp teacher near Charlottesville, Virginia. My  current
interests are non-pedal harps and historical arrangements.  I am willing to
trek up to Washington D.C. if nobody lives any closer, but I need contact
names.
 
Secondly, can anyone send me a current address for Bill Taylor, formerly of
the D.C. area?  I lost contact when he went overseas.
 
Lastly, I am looking for sources for gut Harp strings, as my new instrument
has them.
 
I look forward to hearing from you all, especially any participants in the
Amherst Early Music Historical Harp Conference that are on this list.

There is now objective proof that green ink works on improving the
sound of CDs. The problem was that folk were putting it on the _CDs_
which would have no effect since it is _digital_. You need to paint
the _analog_ input device green - ie your own head - and you get a
dramatic improvement in listening pleasure. Not convinced? Well I
got a friend to measure the smile on my face before and after painting
my entire head green and there was a 63.2% increase so argue with that!!

PS where can I get some Balonium stabalising pads?

The only reason for the longbox was very simple : two longboxes side by side
happen to be about the same size as an LP record.  Therefore, the music stores
did not have to re-fit their fixtures to handle a different size package.  This
can cost plenty for the big chains and they have a LOT of say so in the
music industry ...
