This songbook contains songs that I think you "need to know" in our area of the SCA. These are the songs that everybody already seems to know at events
It contains the lyrics and sheet music. The first section are documented to period(ish) ie no later than Ravenscroft (1611). The "After Midnight" section are traditional, folk or documented later, separated so that it is a conscious choice.
This is a the final version of this book.*
