I remember at the back of my mind, a song about the sea written but a southern European bard of some sorts. I remember the melody but I only remember the first word which was Quantas??. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but any help would be amazing.

Hi everyone!

I bought this music score in some street stands by the Cathédrale Notre-Dame in Paris yesterday. There were around 30 of them and the guy selling them repeated several times that all of them were originals from the XVII century (all of them were different). Specifically, he mentioned that it was a printing from that era and that it includes a handmade water colour drawing in the letter "D" square. There is music written in both sides of the paper.

I was wondering if this is truly an original from the XVII century, since the piece of paper looks too well conserved (almost completely straight borders and no damages), even for been inside of a book since then.

On the other hand, I tried to search for the text to identify the score, but I got no specific results for it.

Thanks in advance!

As the title implies, I played saxophone in band back when I was a kid. Recently, I've had some inspiration to take up a wind instrument that's good for recreating medieval and other early classical music (Renaissance, Baroque). I do like the sound of a well played oboe, though I've heard that it's a difficult instrument to pick up for various reasons. I also understand that the clarinet is an easy instrument to transition to from a sax.

Like the title says,I need help finding the name of a medieval or renaissance song played in the tv show The Tudors.

It's in season 1 episode 4. Princess Margaret and Charles Brandon are in Portugal, and they are dancing together and talking about how long the portugese king will live, when this song is playing.

I think it's a spanish, portugese or possibly an italian composition. I've known the name before, and it's a historical piece, not something made for the show.

Hello ! I'm currently doing research on Saint Kassiani of Constantinople, a 9th century Byzantine-Greek composeress, hymnographer, and poetess (Also known as Kassia, Cassia, Kassiana, Kassiane, Ikasia or Eikasia, she was an orthodox abbess). I want to play her vocal compositions but i can't find any scores. Do any of you have some scores to send me ?

Thanks !

Years ago I used to have a violin teacher who also specialized in medieval vielle music. She taught me and a few others a song that I swear was called "Con Dulce Brava" (or maybe Brama), but I have never been able to find it again online. Does anyone know what this song could be? I have no recordings and don't know where the sheet music went, but it gets stuck in my head all the time. I'm hoping it's not too obscure (though it's totally possible my teacher transcribed it herself since she specialized in medieval music)
