Subject: RE: The trees they do grow high: medieval?

The tune Ian is using is in 'The New Penguin Book of English Folk Songs', collected by Lucy Broadwood from Mrs Joiner in Herefordshire.
It was published in the Journal of the Folk-Song Society in 1915, so perhaps Martin got it from there.

Is there somewhere we can see or hear the 'descending' tune that Jack Campin has mentioned?
