Next step?
mccl...@yahoo.com
A friend took some music from ancient manuscripts written by an
ancestor and created a music disc of the songs in different versions,
but no vocal. One of the songs, Comendation of Music, was known to
Shakespeare and discussed at the masquerade party by the musicians (not
played) in Romeo and Juliet. I can't read or play music and have no
other means to add the words, so the songs reflect their period. What
would be the logical next step?

I just want to thank you for answering! It's not impossible at 55 to
start studying music, but can you go it with a program alone?

Leicester Bradner in his 1927 dissertation wrote. I quote:
"Mulliner M.S. of the British Museum (Add. 369513, fol.77v) a setting
for a madrigal entitled O the syllye man, which is signed 'finis
quothe edwardes.'
In the same manuscript, fo. 79v, is an unsigned stting to Edwards'
poem In goinge to my naked bedde.
1923 discovered manuscript copies (circa1597) of the tenor and bass
parts of this madrigal, thus permitting a more accurate reconstruction
of the composition than had previously been possible from the
organ-score in the Mulliner MS. ...published in the Musical Times
(July 1923).
A setting for four voices, sung by the English Singers, is to be found
on recorded E 267, 'His Master's Voice' (The Gramaphone Company,
Ltd.). The score was Arranged by Dr.( E. H. ) Fellowes
Another unsigned setting for this poem is found in MS. Add. 36526 A,
fo. I, in the British Museum.
Mr. Henry Davey, in his History of English Music (London, 1895), gives
his opinion that the setting of Yee happy dames in the Mulliner MS.
Mentioned above was also probably by Edwards, since it is similar to
his known work.
Mr. Davey also points out that in the British Museum MS. Add. 4900
there is a solo song signed 'M. Edward.'(3)
Dr. E.W. Naylor, in his Shakespeare and Music (London 1896), gives a
setting of Edwards' song In commendation of Musick,, without any
statement of source. He attributes the music to Edwards himself.
some motets preserved in the Peterhouse Mss., and a setting for a
metrical version of the Lord's Prayer in Day's Psalter of 1563. Dr
Grattan Flood (5) credits his with a mass in the Peterhouse MSS. In
addition to the motets mentioned by Davey.

the score in Cakewalk. Add midi instruments to each instrument you have in
the manuscript. It is never too late to learn music!
