Society for Creative Anachronism. A group of people who recreate the better parts of the pre-1600 life, without the bugs etc. Some groups better then others. I'd ask the question over again on rec.soc.sca newsgroup.

What makes a song an SCA song? Anything medieval? Something written by an SCA'er for SCA events? Something that mentions the SCA by name?

confused in Seattle

Alex - most of what people mean by SCA songs is filk - or based on SCA events and/or people.

Example:
Alas, my love, you've done me dirt

For you've sewn green sleeves to my purple shirt.

And then you've done me worse than that

For you've made me go out and wear it.

They've got a website somewhere with a bunch like that.

OK, OK, here is the SCA Minstrel Home Page with lots of links to real period stuff, and filk stuff too. Alex, any of your "answers" would be considered SCA songs. We sing "A Grazing Mace", "Under the Shield Wall" (Boardwalk), etc plus real, documented tunes from before 1650. Also, we do things written in Period (0-1650AD) style, like the Trouveres stuff.
