I would love to learn some camino songs - there are words to some in Joyce Rupp's book but no music, and there are a few u tube clips of people singing but I can't catch the words. And searching here I can find references to chants and medieval music which I will follow up, but has anyone produced a collection of songs that are sung along the way, with the dots (music), preferably,for private practice and enjoyment! Maybe I could squeeze a tin whistle into a pannier - but then I couldn't sing... what about some sort of percussion instrument??
This came to my mind this morning because we sang 'To be a pilgrim' in church, which I thought would be so inspiring - 'one here will constant be, come wind, come weather'!! And what about 'who so beset him round /with dismal stories/ do but themselves confound, / his strength the more is'- perhaps the stories were about bed bugs, or blisters, or barbarian hordes (johnny foreigners).
And how wonderful that neither 'Hobgoblin nor foul fiend / can daunt his spirit' - or as I and my arthritic neighbour in the pew adapted it... ' Depression nor foul knee ....'
