Virgil's Medieval Page

Here's a bit of light-hearted fun. In Shakespeare's time most music - particularly peasant music - was very short.

Yon lords, ladies, and other gentlefolk, your humble knave presents to ye a panoply of short songs - some with words, and others to be played merrily on well-aged instruments.

Or for those prepared to detour, here is a separate page of Medieval tunes from the Isle of Wales.

Band o' Shearers
Cheer'ly Man
Dance to your Daddie
Frog in a Cocked Hat
Fiddler's Morris
Gypsie Laddie
I'm a Rover and Seldom Sober
Maid's Morris
Maids When You're Young
Miller's Jig
Moulson's Jig
O Waly Waly
Old Noll's Jig
Rattlin' Roarin' Willie

A "panoply" he says?! Doesn't that mean lots?

Okay, a gradually emerging panoply. Enjoy!
