Notes
Morris-dance tune. There is much disagreement over which e's should be flat or natural. Older books all show Eb throughout, but this could just be an result of using "proper" classical notation. Current practice seems to be to play it mostly in Dorian mode. Barnes p.122 (dated 1651) E. Hunt #32 Playford Raven (in Em)
