It came mostly in the form of two often repeated questions: 'Can we get sheet music for this?' and 'When will you do a recording of Menolly's music?' We'll get to the second question later, but this songbook is the answer to the first. We had to make a lot of decisions about the notation ... We've tried to find the heart of each arrangement, leave out the extras which would tend to make it more difficult to read, and keep the parts that will be most useful to most people. We hope we've at least come close to achieving that goal... "As for the music of Menolly- our second Pern collaboration was released in 2009 and, as so many of you hoped, it is based on the Harperhall novels. Anne expanded some of her lyric snatches (as did we), and she found, among her old files, a complete Pern ballad she wrote in 1969 that had never been published. You'll find all that on the CD Sunset's Gold, available from www.Opland-Freeman.com"
