GUEST,Timehiker Help: 16th and 17th century songs (25) RE: Help: 16th and 17th century songs 08 Aug 00


Great suggestions, folks! I'm headed to the library now to try to find some of those references, Tom and Naemanson. And Shakespeare should be a gold mine, Leeneia. I wasn't aware that the tunes to those songs were lost. I do have copies of "It was a Lover and his Lass" and "How Should I Your True Love Know?" I'll have to add them to my bag. And you're right when you say that so many of those songs are rather morbid. It's a little tricky trying to balance them with some brighter songs. I'll likely add "Barbera Allen" too, even though it's a little late for our site. And Bruce, is the tune to "The Wedding of the Frog and Mouse" similar to "Froggy Would a Wooing Go"?

Thanks again, folks. Keep em coming!
Timehiker
