Nancy Charest encouraged me to take the class in the first place, and has been supportive ever since. Jim Stehn, Director of the Cucamonga Renaissance Ensemble, rekindled my interest in early music, and supplied (and still supplies) a lot of music that ends up here. Pierre Schwob, by example, gave me the idea to put up a web page (Faren Raborn belongs here, too, but I saw Pierre's page first). Steve Bryant, colleague, friend, and fellow musician, has provided music, company, and encouragement. Mike Starke has been a continuous source of inspiration. Bob Fox, the versatile bassist of the Cucamonga Renaissance Ensemble, has provided the hospitality of his home for practice sessions and the brief loan of his cornetto. Art Stillwell has shared his extensive knowledge of recorders and provided music, and I was heartened to realize that even he occasionally plays the wrong line. The other members of the Cucamonga Renaissance Ensemble and the Jouyssance Early Music Ensemble have provided pastime with good company. Robert Lathe and Michael Cuthbert have provided Praetorius info; Robert has shared a number of Praetorius midis and Michael helped me complete and correct Gavotte I. The denizens of rec.music.early have been especially helpful. I'd also like to thank those who have shared their midi files with me.

I'd also like to clarify the rôle of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, in these pages. They provide web server space and Internet access to all faculty; I am grateful for this (it is a US$19.95/month retail value!), but I want to make it clear that I receive no other support. It is not part of my regular duties (I am biology faculty, not music), and I do it all on my own time, on my own computer, and with my own software.
