There's a book Songs from Shakespeares Plays, ed. Tom Kines, from Oak Publications in '64 ISBN 0-8256-0068-5 which should have enough for just about anyone then there's Chappell, Popular Music of Olden Time which I made the mistake of loaning out so it's not at my fingertips but I think it was Dover Press. good luck PETE PETERSON

Thanks. I don't have any of Maddy Prior's work outside of Steeleye Span. I'll check it out.

I like Man is for the Woman Made by Henry Purcell 1659-1695. Maddy Prior sings it with the Carnival Band on Hang up Sorrow and Care. Lots of fine 16th and 17th century songs on the CD. Is that the Rennaissance? I was born in 1023...justaharpgirl

"Fortune my Foe" on my website was derived from poems by Raleigh and Elizabeth. Several others songs there are also Elizabethan (Watkins Ale, Carman's Whistle, etc.). From my site you can also click onto the SCA site and there go to 16th century ballads and music

I work at the original Southern Cal and Northern Cal Renaissance Pleasure Faires, and am always looking for period songs to sing out in the streets. Any sources or recommendations?
