Dear Lyrist Hiltrud van Pommerst,
I would like your help. Alejandro and Sparrow have recovered some antique pipes. They have musical notation and lyrics on them. It is a song - "The Song of the Wellfolk."
They have translated the lyrics. But I am interested in the music! I do not understand the notation. I think that the upper band describes pitch and note variation? I do not understand the subtleties of it. It does not sound "right" when I try to play it.
Can you help with the music? I have included a drawing of the artifacts and their inscriptions. The sections in red are damaged or missing. Some of it I have guessed.
I want to compose a new hymn to this music. If the bubble beast is what I suspect then this may be important. It may help.
