It was wonderful to be able to welcome PGRs working on Early English Music to @NclUniMusic back in February.

@elsie33 Does it exist on Microfilm? We might have it in NCL. If it does - I can check tomorrow :)

Are you a research student? Organising a study day is an excellent way to bring together academics who share your research interests. It's also a valuable way to gain experience of working within uni administration structures for research students seeking a career in academia.

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

@PatrickAllies Anything by Browne! Horwood is also underrated!

[Thomas Phillips @Thomas_MPh]

Looking forward to talking about some Anglo-Saxon music fragments today

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

@PatrickAllies @EECMnews Equally sad that you weren't able to join us!

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

One week left to submit proposals

@davidbruce Just spitballing here - could it be influenced by the earliest (and current) forms of notation? I.e. high notes are higher on the stave?

@EnsembleEPV - I think you'll enjoy. #beardythings

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

A real team effort, but here are some initial thoughts on this fragment. Input at various sections from @Wilus1969, @elsie33, @MichaelWinter99, and Magnus Williamson.

tl;dr not a fragment by Fayrfax but rather a compositional excersise based on Fayrfax 'O Lux Beata' (1/10)

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

And here is how it sounds (warts and all) It's a little quick as I had to keep the length under twitter's time limit...

Please excuse the midi sounds...

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

@DactF @Wilus1969 more here from @DactF. Very good bit of information on Faburden as well which is explained better than I could!

[DACT Fragments @DactF]

this is not a #chant #fragment but it not #chant in a pretty interesting way! also Tudor music is fun so here is a thread about a "Fayrfax" "O lux" (scare quotes on both counts) 1/

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

@djktrumpet I don't know Ganassi but I'll check him out. Sounds like that they both belong to the same tradition of academic excersises. In the fragment above we have markings of 6:1, 3:1, and 4:3

[Michael Winter @MichaelWinter99]

@CamLibResearch @CamUniLibrarian Thank you both - I meant what I said about it being a team effort. This bit of research benefited from the experience and knowledge of quite a few people which helped me put this thread together only a short time after @Wilus1969 came across the fragment
