Nuncle. The book is Singing Early Music, ed. Timothy J. McGee, published by Indiana University Press. It comes with a CD with sample texts.
It has all kinds of different pronunciation rules for all kinds of different languages and periods. Indiana University is big on early music so I would suspect it's well researched. They may not show the research directly but they may well have pointers to the research.

Quod would facere my diem. That would make my day?
That's what I was going for macaronically.

It looks interesting. I'll keep a lookout for it used somewhere.

Our director has been giving us even more specific pronunciation rules. We did the Mozart C Minor Mass with pronunciation that would have been used in that part of Germany at Mozart's time. When we did Orff's Carmina Burana recently we did it with 13th century Bavarian German Latin pronunciation. it all gets a bit silly, doesn't it? especially for a bunch of bar songs...

The CB was kinda easier. We didn't have a whole bunch of words our lips and tongues were used to. The Mozart we had problems, particularly going from a five vowel system to a seven or eight (I forget which) vowel system.

I remember when "albums" were literally albums. The recording media of the day (78's) did not allow more than about 4 minutes per side, so a longer work had to be spread over several disks. For these longer works, the disks were packaged in an album, somewhat like a photo album. There were usually 8 to 15 disks in an album.

Our family had many of these "albums", dozens of records.
And they were so heavy. Good old days.
