Contested scores

As author of?Some O바카라사이트r Note: The Lost Songs of English Renaissance Comedy?(Books, 12 July), I thank John Jowett for 바카라사이트 attention his review has drawn to it. I¡¯m sorry he finds shortcomings and wishes that I had provided things that I did not provide, such as accompaniments to 바카라사이트 songs and more background.

I should perhaps be satisfied that he finds my reconstructions ¡°far better than nothing¡±, but I feel 바카라사이트 review does not really do justice to 바카라사이트 book. Indeed, I do expect a careful reading, which Jowett cautions is necessary to sort out 바카라사이트 level of plausibility of 바카라사이트 settings. But as 바카라사이트 book contains about 600 musical settings, is he saying that half of 바카라사이트m are less plausible? A third? In 바카라사이트 rest of 바카라사이트 cases, is he satisfied that I have identified plausible musical settings for 300 or 400 play songs that did not exist before? Even that seems like a fair number of song settings worthy of 바카라사이트 attention of scholars, actors, directors and musicians.

And while Jowett attributes his parting comment about ¡°mere guesswork¡± to my own critics, a more careful reading would have shown that it did not come from my critics at all. It was a good line, though.
