Yo make this thread a little more complete, it would be nice to see the Waterson's tune and Handel's setting in musical notation. I know the Waterson's tune, but dont have the technology to display it here. And the blue clickie that leads us to the Adlington Hall site only leads to written information, not to the Handel MS/
GUEST storyteller: did you track down either of these tunes in notation, and could you possibly link to them? Thanks very much for leasing us to this very interesting story.
