A new “Purcell”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#44 round, “Well rung Tom”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/417.html. A group member remembered fondly having learned it over a jigsaw from a neighbor. The version she remembered wasn’t exactly what Paul Hillier transcribed in ??The Catch Book??, so we’re singing his version.
“MIchael Cavendish”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/bycomposer.html#75 “Come Gentle Swains”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/418.html. This is from ??The Triumphs of Oriana??, a collection by a lot of good composers of music in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. We’re enjoying this one enough that we may transcribe more of them.
A whole bunch of stuff that’s in “Lachrimae”:http://www.laymusic.org/dowland-l.html, and hadn’t ever gotten uploaded:
* “Lachrimae Amantis”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/419.html
* “The King of Denmarks Galiard”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/420.html
* “M. Henry Noell his Galiard.”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/422.html
* “M Giles Hoby his Galiard.”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/423.html
* “M. Nicholas Gryffith his Galiard.”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/424.html
* “M. Thomas Collier his Galiard with two trebles.”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/425.html
* “M. Bucton his Galiard.”:http://www.laymusic.org/music/sp/html/pieces/426.html

You can now buy either a download or a hardcopy of the Dowland ??Lachrimae?? at “lulu.com”:http://stores.lulu.com/laymusic.
You can see the table of contents, and download the individual pieces at “dowland-l.html”:http://www.laymusic.org/dowland-l.html.
This essentially completes the Dowland project, with all the books available in facsimile having been transcribed and made available:

The party on July 6 will start at about 6. We’ll eat for a
while, start playing by 8 and eat some more after we stop playing
at 10. It’s pot luck, so let me know if you’re coming and what
you’re bringing.
I don’t know of any reason we won’t be having regular meetings
every Tuesday at 7:45 at the usual
place.
The Wakefield Summer Band (with me on horn) will be playing its
first concert on Friday, July 13, at 7 PM at the Bandstand on the
south shore of Lake Quanapowitt.
I managed to smoke out someone else who wanted a party, so there will be one on July 6. We’ll have dinner about 6 and plan to start playing by 8. People who want only dinner and not playing, or only playing and not dinner are welcome. The “usual place”:http://www.laymusic.org/directions.html. Potluck, so let me know if you’re coming and what you’re bringing.
Something (or someone) clobbered my wordpress install last night or this morning. I restored the missing files from backup, and reported the problem to “hostrocket.com”:http://www.hostrocket.com support. Their response was that I shouldn’t have world-writable files (I don’t) and that I should keep my software up to date (I’ve been *meaning* to upgrade).
It was clearly more work to get the site really working than just copying the backup directory over the new directory, so I decided this was the day to do the upgrade. It was fairly painless, and I have my sidebar back looking pretty much the way I want it to.
I believe that most of the differences between the new appearance of the site and the old one will be removed when I get around to redoing the changes I had made to the default stylesheet, I will do this soon, but not before lunch.
I couldn’t stand the small type, so I did it before lunch, but it’s now pretty big and clunky looking. But I’ll really have lunch before fixing that.
I have it adjusted some. I may still tinker with it, as the lines seem quite loose, and I haven’t looked in any browsers but Firefox. Let me know what you think.
Meanwhile, I apologize to anyone who finds the type too small; I think the big thing I did to the CSS was to remove all the absolute type size directives so that people (like me) who set their browsers to use larger type sizes than standard will get the larger type sizes.
In any case, let me know if you have problems, and I’ll do my best to fix them.
