The booklet with the CD refers to a search for the earliest reuse and adaption of refrains- I have no detailed knowledge or insights, but might it be worth checking out parody masses within polyphonic choral music around the time of the early Renaissannce and Reformation for the roots of such techniques and approaches? What about ‘The Armed Man’? Enjoyed the gig and CD!

Thanks Michael – I will take a look and listen and discuss it with Dave. Glad you enjoyed the gig!
