Hi Francis,
yes interesting indeed - the midi sounds like a minor plagiarize from a
Purcell air in Dmin -- or bits of downfall of the djinn -- perhaps
O'Carolan varied a tune based on Purcell or was it vice-versa -- I
looked in Anderson vol 1 for Morpeth rant but could not find it -- does
anyone have vol 2 or later with it in ?
sods to the music moguls - keep music live
