Meeting Report

I was only there for half the meeting, so I was thinking
someone might want to tell me what happened before I got there,
but apparently not.

While I was there, we played:

• Josquin:
  Hélas
  madame, Fama
  malum

Based on the music that was on my dining room floor, before I
got there they might have done some or all of:

• Josquin:
  Entré
  je suis en grant pensée, En l’ombre d’un buissonet
