In article <E4q6H7.HAw@nonexistent.com>, John Cowan <cowan@ccil.org> wrote: there's a wonderful cd --"music for queen mary"-- of music relating to the life of queen mary of england by purcell and his contemporaries, on which the latin is reconstructed seventeenth-century-english latin. thus _maria_, the which word figures prominently and melismatically in a latin aria in praise of the grand old queen, is pronounced like mar-eye-a (m@raja). slightly distracting, but not enough to taint either purcell๏ฟฝs music or the countertenor's fabulous performance thereof. alastair
