Renaissance-y alphabet cartoon...

[Farmerbot]

...hoping to find this on a compilation somewhere or if anyone has a copy...

It's an alphabet cartoon with very Renaissance-y music(a flute, violin, female vocalist singing the letter as it apears). Very well-done animation with ornate letters that turn into animals, jesters, queens, kings and other renaissance-y things. Ran in the late 70's I think.

Anyone got any info on this? Thanks!

I did a little more research and I think I found it. It's possible the one I'm looking for is refered to as "Madrigal Alphabet" or medievel...

There's a post by MuppetDude with some info:
(btw - if anyone's got this on tape I'm willing to trade )

I recall it but it had to have gone as far back as the mid 70s if not before because I rememebr it going back at least that far.
