News of the week of May 30, 2023

• Henry VIII, Pasttime with good company
• Quant je boy du vin claret tout tourne
• Sermisy, Vive la serpe
• Dowland, All ye whom love or fortune hath betraid, Can she excuse my wrongs
• Smith, Slaves are they that heap up mountains
• Ravenscroft, To Portsmouth

We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm.

The Tuesday, June 6 meeting is cancelled. People are urged to take advantage of all the Boston Early Music Festival events instead.

After that, stay tuned for location. We met at my place in Cambridge on May 30, and it worked pretty well. So we may have one more meeting in Arlington to celebrate our hosts’ hospitality and get me some help removing all the stuff we’ve been cluttering up their place with. But in general, the meetings will now be at 233 Broadway in Cambridge.
