Tunes from the Taverns, Streets and Theatres of 16th- & 17th-century England, arranged by Lucie and Roddy Skeaping.

“The country dances and ballad tunes that flooded England between the time of William Byrd and Henry Purcell are some of the richest veins in our musical history. Broadsheets rarely printed musical notation as the tunes were already well known from the playhouse or dancing. In this book we also include arrangements of playhouse songs by Thomas d'Urfey, songs from the collections of Thomas Ravenscroft, and pieces by William Cornysh and Henry Lawes” – Lucie Skeaping.

Titles such as “The Plain Downright Merry Wooing”, “The Lunatick Lover” and “The Husband who Met his Match" give a flavour of these excellent catchy and timeless little tunes.
