Ron and I met singing in a 5-voice "choir" dedicated to a weekly Latin Mass. (Preparing an hour of chant and polyphony once a week year round for public consumption - now there's enviable training for any lutenist!) Anyway, for my second week there - some dozen years before Ron - we had a visiting serpent player accompany us. This was the only time we had accompaniment of any sort the whole time I was there, I think. I'm happy to have had the experience, but I have to say I'm glad it wasn't my first time there... -Donna > From: [email protected] > > FWIW, the serpent was invented by a French priest in 1590, and was > originally meant to accompany chant. > > Guy __________________________________________________________________
