Hello.
Let me preface by saying that I absolutely love the New World Renaissance
Band. I do hope that more cd's are on the way!

I am getting married this August and I was
wondering if it was possible to obtain sheet music for "In A Garden
So Green" and a couple of other selections from various
recordings. I'm not sure if this would be a copyright
violation? I am not a musician myself but I am trying to supply the
musicians I have contracted with ceremony music in a Renaissance
vein. Another issue that I have is that they will not be playing
with period instruments, only organ and trumpet. Someone told me
that they might be able to play from open score? The vocalist I
have is experienced with early music, so she is up for anything.

Please let me know what you
advise.

Many, many thanks!

You need to find volumes of Musica Brittanica, which may be available
at

a local university library

"The purpose of the SCA is to educate - this is why we're classified
as a

non-profit education. We educate people about the way people lived prior
to 1600.

As a member of the SCA, your mission should be to go to the library and
do some

studying on how things WERE done back then, and I can see that you have
done so,

but you have missed a few spots. If you can find "Musica
Brittanica" in a nearby

library, this should get you started on a path to some fantastic stuff
you might

have otherwise missed. BTW - the sheet music for the stuff on "On
the Banks of

Helicon" is in volume XV - "Scots 1500-1700" and it's all
in English. Here's an

excerpt of a song from, I believe, 1640 or so (1650 is a controversial
ending

point for SCA, but I DO fudge it here for good music that is still in the
proper

STYLE):"
