Dear Tim,
Thanks for the info about Godric. In regard to how Godric learned these
songs, the musicologist you cite is probably quite right. However, Godric
himself claimed to have learned these ditties from the BVM. Do you or any
other musicologists know of articles dealing with recluses, nuns, monks,
et al., who claimed to learn music from the angels and saints? If you know
of any studies that touch upon this theme I would be most grateful for the
reference.
