Greetings all,

I have been searching for some upbeat English songs, preferably 15th c.
(John
Dunstable & contemporaries, for example).  So far I know of "past tyme with
good company."  I was wondering if anyone knows of "Good morrow fair ladies
of May" (T. Morley, I believe) and "Sing we to the merry company" (Anon.)  I
am especially looking for sheet music for the latter.

I know there's a whole realm of madrigals (late 16th - 17th c.) out there,
but I am trying to stay a bit earlier than those, if I can.

I am just curious if anyone has any particular merry English favourites --
any you enjoy performing or that your audience always looks forward to.

Thanks very much.

- Sancha
