So, I can see that this thread is a bit... um... venerable, 15 years having elapsed since you folks had this exchange, but I'm desperately i search of an arrangement of Swinton May Song so I wont' mangle it myself with my poor arranging skills. If any of you are still following this thread (particularly Bernard), could you take pity and send me a copy? aadeliaa@verizon.net

It's for an American a cappella choir called Hopewell Hall, starting to learn music for some May Day concerts that will include both British and American May songs. (yeah, we did have at least one, sung at Valley Forge by General Washington's troops, apparently, and they even had maypoles)

Many thanks in advance and I'm hoping you guys aren't completely moribund even if this thread is.
