Ian	Ancient Irish Songs (31)	RE: Ancient Irish Songs	31 Mar 99
The earliest song with music notation in Europe is "Lhude Sing Cuccu" written on the walls of Reading Abbey. Most of the early poetry (certainly anglo-saxon) was originally songs, albeit major ballads. I don't know any Irish ones, but in England, "Beowulf" and "The Dream of The Rood" are worth a look. There's also a good one called "The Battle of Maldon"
