So... what do we have sheet music for? :)

That's what my 16th century topical is for! :)  And I don't think I'm the
only one doing such, either.

I WILL be teaching Contrapasso en Due -- does anyone have sheet music for
it?
I WILL be teaching Ballo del Fiori, and I know Greg has that. :)
I COULD teach Vilanella, but would probably need my memory refreshed on it
beforehand, especially if people would like possible local weirdnesses
pulled out.  I'm hideous at reconstruction.
I could also teach Gracca Amoroa, which I know some musicians were playing
last year -- don't know if anyone has the sheet music for that.

Of course, that leaves out anything really complex, but I'm not the best
for teaching the complex.  I'm only tossing out ideas about what I could
teach, to help out on that problem.  Who else is teaching a 16c topical?

I know!  That was very surprising to see!  I think I emailed you, Greg,
asking if you wanted me to teach a 15c Italian topical instead of the ECD.
