minstrel: Troubadour and Trouvere songs in English

[Monica Hultin]

Hi,

The EMA article lists an address for another publication as

Song Traditions:Crown Light Editions
437 East Beverly St, Staunton, VA 24401-4415
(540) 886-7121; Idolive at cfw.com

I presume this is the contact information for Crown Light.

I have not seen these, and now that I know about them, I WANT THEM!!!  I
have searched fairly extensively for the last 1/2 hour on the Web; not much
luck.  I found a mention of the book at Schola Antiqua's site, but no more
info.  Crown Publishers has nothing on it.  OCLC doesn't list it.  Abebooks
and Alibris don't have it.  Aaaaaaagh!

Maybe it's the same situation I found with another book I looked for quite
a while - an article was written about the author and discussed the
"spring" publication of her book - which actually didn't come out until a
year and half later.  The article is definite that it was already published?

There is a 1982? book called Medieval Songs, or something like that, by the
same gentleman.  Very nice book.  Highly recommended.
