Missale Sarum
I once posted a link to a Latin Sarum missal on New Rendering of Dickinson Sarum Missal in Latin and found that the site and file were gone. Fortunately I saved a copy which I have posted on As the Sun … Continue reading

Solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short

Mendelssohn
Felix Mendelssohn (1809 – 1847) needs no introduction as a Romantic composer whose output is quite phenomenal. He continues to be rediscovered in the musical world, and many of his works were published as late as the 1960’s. Because of … Continue reading
