Subject: RE: Songs of Faery
Thanks for the info. Presumably that means that they did use the set-dance tune (example Here ); it's a pity that they didn't bother to do the whole thing, though. Mind, the full poem would have been harder to fit to a tune for which it was never intended! I do hope that they credited Allingham, and that the omission was just on the part of whoever transcribed it from their record.
