[Don José]

I was expecting comments on the writing rather than on the contents, but anyway it's interesting what you said. I've got some questions:


- When you said that 'ut' was G in the very begining, do you mean that the scores as this one has been transported?

(I know wikipedia is not a reliable source of information, but this score can be found in many books on History of Music.)


I think I'm remembering one of the teachers at the Conservatory talking about what you said, but as I get older, I'm getting more absent-minded. I'm curently teaching music at a secondary school, and always keen on learning new things, so thanks for your information.

I was going to ask you what 'shape-note singing' was, but I just have a 'Google look' and found this website:

Just from reading the first page, it sounds interesting. I'll be back to it.
