Thread Name: Help: identify songbook; Hullah
Subject: Help: identify song book; Hullah
I've just rescued a song book from a local jumble sale, and it has no date or title page. The spine identifies it as "Part Music" "Hullah", and those details are repeated on each page bottom.
The book is (first) half sacred,(second) half secular. All arranged for 3 or 4 part singing. Most of the secular part is made up of Glees & Madrigals.

Running list of titles (no index)
