These tapes also included booklets with extensive notes on the sources for the lyrics and music, as well as copies of the lyrics and music themselves. I have their Middle English Lyric tape, and their Trouvere tape. I have heard their tape of the Troubadours and the Minnesingers as well. I don't know how many are in their collection, but it might be worth asking them about. I don't have contact information, unfortunately, but I am sure that they have a web site. Speaking of web sites, Greg Blount has a lot of good information onthe SCA minstrel's homepage. You may want to strat there. I know that he has a good annotated bibliography that includes books as well as recordings. And visit the Early Music section of your facvourtie book store or record store!
