Description

Renaissance Songes of the Merrie Jester by Robin Fickle is a cheerful collection of Renaissance tunes from England, France, Germany and Italy. This book contains music composed by Renaissance notables such as King Henry VIII of England and Lorenzo the Magnificent de’ Medici, the great patron of Michelangelo. Included are many dance tunes from Italian, French, Flemish and English sources such as John Playford’s English Dancing Master as well as many Elizabethan love songs from well known composers such as John Dowland, the royal lutenist. Short biographies of each composer are included. The easy to play arrangements are for the intermediate level player. A little more than half of the pieces are written in the key of G, most of the others are in F while a handful are in C and one is in D. Most pieces are written without key changes. However, pedal and lever harp markings appear in the few pieces that change key and fingerings are contained throughout. 35 pieces, pages, spiral bound. Also available as a PDF download. Those who enjoy this book will also love the companion volume, Renaissance Songes of the Merrie Cavalier, which is devoted to many of the same composers.

mp3 DOWNLOADS

On our website, folkharp.com, we offer a wide selection of paper and download music. We were always in a quandary about publications having several parts, or that include sound files. After realizing that we can place multiple files into one folder and “zip” it up, we are now able to offer book + cd options.

What we do: sound files and the PDF book are placed into a folder and zipped. The zipped folder is inserted into the product on the back end of the web site.

What you receive: after you purchase, you receive a zipped folder. This is a folder that literally has a picture of a zipper on it, indicating there is more than one document in the folder.

What you do with it: Generally by double clicking on the folder, it automatically opens up. The challenge lies in whether or not you have a program that unzips these folders. If you do, it is as simple as double clicking and the contents are revealed. Alternately, you can right click on the folder, which brings up choices, one of which is “open with” – you then click on your unzip program.

If you don’t have a program to unzip your files you’ll have a challenge! Recently I bought a small laptop for my zoom lessons. This laptop did not come with winzip, or any other kind of program that unzips these folders. The computer kept wanting me to purchase winzip for $29.  I found another program that does a great job, and it is free. 7-zip unzips all my compressed (zipped) folders! It is open source and you can find out more here:https://www.7-zip.org/

We hope all this information is helpful to you.
