   Well that's information that was needed!  I don't have a good enough 
voice to do madrigals (and besides aren't most of them multi-part?), but
I can handle the more limited range of simpler songs.
   (To give you an idea, I have trouble with the intervals in the Boars'
Head Carol and Bring Us in Good Ale.  I can handle A Mighty Fortress
Is Our God and things like that without lots of jumping around and staying
mostly within the octave. I make songs in general for _other_ people to 
sing, which is why I post them here.)
