[MR] BBC: Medieval Music Found

[Marybeth Lavrakas]

One time I was researching at the Norfolk Public records Office in England, and asked for a document. I was used to documents having been bound into volumes, so that's what I expected to be handed, a big volume I had to page through. Instead I was handed a very large cardboard box. In the box were a whole variety of more or less related items, ranging from the 12th century through the 16th. Just tossed in there. CARDBOARD BOX.  Still blows my mind. So in a way, I'm totally not surprised when random stuff turns up.

Noble Friends,

According to the BBC, a 700-year-old piece of sheet music was found while packing the Herefordshire Council's archives for a move: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hereford-worcester-24754286 . Amazing how stuff like this just keeps turning up.

Yours Aye,
