The singing group of the Shire of Adamastor has been in existence since the Shire started in 1995. It is largely an a capella group which sings medieval and Renaissance music, usually in three or four parts. The size of the group varies considerably, but generally contains something between six and twelve singers. In July 2007 we have three sopranos, two altos, a tenor and a bass (tenors are our perennial problem, ours is a lady in drag). Belladonna tries to perform three or four songs at most Shire events.

Files below are mostly for the benefit of Belladonna singers who either lose their music or wish to practice with the MIDIs: formats are either MIDI, PDF or Noteworthy Composer. The first midi file represents the whole piece, which is also split into separate voices. Where a version is missing, I'll try to add it at some stage. Please let me know if any links are broken.
