Friends: Thanks for this discussion. Someone noted Ralph Vaughn Williams "collected" these "English folk tunes."   Does anyone know whether KINGSFOLD is copyrighted by anyone? Is there an "original" tune somewhere?
    One of my publishers friends said I had to see if indeed, it was in the "public domain" before giving my "version" of it, my harmonization for a new text I wish to set.
    Thanks for any help.
