minstrel: Anglo-Saxon Lyre

[Tadhg O Cuileannain]

A couple of things that are not exactly period for the
AS lyre (though I don't actually know that it was
extinct by the 13th century), but are English and will
fit (though you'll have to retune to get the mode):
Byrd one brere, range A-F (from Hoppin's Anthology of
Medieval Music) and Worldes Blis, B-G (in The
Historical Anthology of Music, Davidson & Apel).  I
could send you the first as a Noteworthy Composer file
(I believe you can still download the demo version of
NC for free).  There are lots of other tunes if you
don't insist on them being Anglo-Saxon.
