GREAT HALL

Included on this page will be some historical pieces for reference, pieces that are partially or wholy original to the College members, or other pieces that we really like.

If you have pieces you would like to include here, please contact the webmaster and he will be happy to add them. Any song, poem, story, music, or whatever can be included, as long as it basically fits the criteria of the SCA. Audio and Video recordings are also viable, either as direct storage or as links to YouTube or the like. Additionally, if you want to have your music transcribed, but don't know how to write out music, the webmaster guy Master Arden is good at doing that and more than willing to help. If you send him a recording, through some alchemy he can make sheet music appear! He also has semi-portable recording equipment if people want to try to do a recording themselves as well (a multi-track digital recorder, allowing for more complex stuff if you prefer).

DAWN SONG	Text: Bertran D'Alamano (1230-1260), Music: 13th Cent. Anon Motet	DAWNSONG.DOC	DAWNSONG.PDF	DAWNSONG.MID	Recorded on "Of Dyverse Mynstralsye" by Paul Butler	Combined the text of Bertran D'Alamano with an anonymous 13th century liturgical motet, slightly modified to match the text, to create a period style dawn song. The original was in Provencal, the translation is by Willard Trask. I chose to do it in English because I think the words are important to understand for the effect of the song.
