almost forgot...<br>
this is fantastic news - looks like a very intersting interface
and web presence from what I can tell from a short visit!<br>
I hope to have a deeper look at it in the near future.<br>
<br>
thank you for sharing<br>
All the best for you and your project,<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">Dear
MEI colleagues, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">I am
pleased to announce the public launch of the "all MEI" <i>Lost
Voices Project</i> at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digitalduchemin.org/">http://digitalduchemin.org</a>! The
site is freely available to anyone interested in Renaissance
music—scholars, teachers, performers, and anyone curious
about the humanities in the digital domain.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">As
you might recall, the <i>Lost Voices Project</i> centers on
16 sets of music books published by Nicolas Du Chemin in
Paris in the years around 1550, offering facsimiles and
modern editions of almost 400 chansons by composers like
Clément Janequin, Claude Goudimel, Etienne Du Tertre, and
many others. You can read the complete poem of each piece
(with rhyme diagram), scroll through the piece, or listen to
the music in high-quality sampled versions (lute in
mean-tone tuning). <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digitalduchemin.org/help/">Help</a> menus
explain how to use the many features of our site. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">The <i>Lost
Voices Project </i>also opens these chansons to some novel
modes of collaborative inquiry. We have built a large
database of analytic observations about the music (with some
11,000 entries). You can <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digitalduchemin.org/search/">search, sort,
and save your queries</a>. With a free individual account
you can collect ‘favorite’ pieces, take private notes on
them, and participate in live public discussions about them.
(The ‘help’ menus explain how to request an account, or how
to reset your password if you already have one). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">Meanwhile
we have created new kinds of dynamic digital editions using
the open-source Music Encoding Initiative standard. Here you
can <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digitalduchemin.org/piece/DC0221/">view
variants and emendations </a>(with critical reports for
each piece), as well as display any phrase or analytic
segment instantly in any modern internet browser (no special
software is needed). </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">You
can also take part in our collaborative exploration of the
“lost voices”: reconstructions of the contratenor and
bassus parts of dozens of pieces from the last five volumes
of our corpus. <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digitalduchemin.org/piece/DC1208/">You
cancompare different solutions </a>(just as you can
compare variant readings for the complete works). If you
like, you can also contact us to submit a reconstruction of
your own. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">The
project is described in more detail in the attached
document, and will be explained in an essay in <i>Early
Music</i> that will appear in a few weeks. You can also
learn more through our Editor’s Forum blog (see the
attachment for a link).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">I am
very grateful to the many <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://digitalduchemin.org/about/participants/">colleagues
and students</a> who have made all of this possible, and
especially to my partners at the CESR in Tours (led by the
incomparable Philippe Vendrix) for their patience,
enthusiasm and vision. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">Finally,
I owe a deep debt to the various funding agencies whose
generous support make all of this possible: the National
Endowment for the Humanities, the American Council of
Learned Societies, the), the CNRS, the CESR, and Haverford
College.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">I
will be in touch with further news about the project, and a
new grant that will sustain a related collaborative for
another three years.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">With
best wishes,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Gill Sans'">Richard
