Dr. Dave: I listened more than once and think I might have gotten the gist of the whole thing. What an incredible evolution our language has gone through in the last four hundred + years. The delightful phrases and the obvious contributions of French and Latin make this old English less guttural than that currently spoken. One wonders what the rules of punctuation, pronunciation and tense were taught in those days. Have tomes directed to the correct usage of that language ever been discovered? The music which accompanied the text was just as fascinating. The appeal of that form of entertainment is obvious I guess however, I wonder what a 15th Century resident would have thought of the Rolling Stones? Thanks for this wonderful performance and all of the art and music.
