I have been following your posts for a few mon...Hi! I have been following your posts for a few months. I have a question for you. I'm looking to find really really old English hymns, or hymns that have a medieval or even Renaissance type sound to them. I'm also looking for minor key hymns. I'm new to Anglicanism and am part of a continuing Anglican church in New England, and am looking to introduce "new" old music of this type to another service we are planning. Any ideas for resources?<BR/><BR/>There is an old English Christian folk song called Lake Wyke Dirge that has the chord progression and melody type I'm trying to find. Also, the hymn "40 Days and 40 Nights" nails it. I'm looking for anything like those. I eschew sappy modern worship songs and hymns, and would love to find more of the serious minor or mixolydian type English melodies for worship.<BR/><BR/>I hope you can point me in a direction!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great blog! Keep it up!<BR/><BR/>Dougdbonnevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03560456106295327646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6601056345219122672.post-66047632571585897612008-03-24T21:38:00.000-07:002008-03-24T21:38:00.000-07:00Parody is really only funny if it's well-written. ...Parody is really only funny if it's well-written.
