Some Other Note by Ross W. Duffin, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

English comedy from the fifteenth to the early seventeenth century abounds in song lyrics, but most of the original tunes were thought to have been lost - until now. By deducing that playwrights borrowed melodies from songs they already knew, Ross W. Duffin has used the existing Englishrepertory of songs, both popular and composed, to reconstruct hundreds of songs from more than a hundred plays and other stage entertainments. Thanks to Duffin's incredible breakthrough, these plays have been rendered performable with period music for the first time in five hundred years. Some OtherNote not only brings these songs back from the dead, but tells a thrilling tale of the investigations that unraveled these centuries-old mysteries. | Some Other Note by Ross W.
