<DIV><FONT size=4>I would also encourage people who are interested in
post-elisabethan history and music to read the Diaries of Samuel Pepys. Apart
from his rich diaries he also composed music, unfortunetly recordings of these
are quite rare.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Now back to topic:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>We must thank GG for recording works of “obscure” composers,
be they contemporary or 17th C. Mind you, before he recorded the GBs that work
was rather obscure and only known to experts, yet he managed to make sure that
this work would be associated with him, for good or bad.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>And while I am here, could someone recommend similar adaptions
for piano of elisabethan and jacobean composers to what GG did with Byrd and
Gibbons ?</FONT></DIV>

size=3 face=Arial>Bless you Bob for mentioning this literature. I recently fell
back in love with 18'th century English lit, after paying little attention since
university days, oh, about 123 years ago. Anyway, I bought and read
Fielding's "Joseph Andrews" and I laughed and was infuriated by equal
turns. The blatant and overt distortions of personalities allowed Fielding
to turn people's behavior inside out so that it was right up close and it mostly
stank. A brilliant satirist. I also bought a university level book
that had a bunch of scholarly essays on the works of Swift, another
genius. My interest actually started a bit more than a year ago when I
suddenly had to know everything about Samuel Johnson. So, I got two huge bio's,
recent scholarship and read to my hearts content. That whole era of
literature is so deeply rich and I encourage younger folk to explore
it.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
