> Is this yet another case of the appropriation of one > culture by another more marketable one? Thanks for the info on the scottish harmonic perspective. As far as the "Elizium" thing goes, the subtiltle is "Elizabethan Ballads, Ayres & Dances" As "Joy to the person" did appear as a broadside ballad in London, I do not think that we are guilty of cultural appropriation. Or at least anymore than they were back then. I chose "Joy to the person" to follow "Eliza is the fairest queen" as it seemed to fit the situation of Leicester & Elizabeth, even through it has of course has not possible historical connection. The CD is conceived as one long peice of music, more like a 70's rock CD than a standard early music CD with 35+ miniture pieces. The 10th block is also based around a scottish song "What mightie Motion". Again it seemed fitting to Elizabeth looking back on her (maybe) unhappy love life and at the same time showing that James VI would soon become James I of England. The CD also begins with a few bars from a renaissance guitar peice by Morlaye called Hornpipe d'Angleterre. I liked the idea of travelling to the mythic Island of "Elizium" with some french sailers. Our next CD will have a scottish theme, with a slight twist. I am sure that in some ways Scots music is more more markateble than English music. best wishes Mark -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
