    while we're on the topic

    I've heard this tune before and was wondering if someone might have an idea what it's name is or where it comes from

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzRTkWhtDYs

    The tune starts at 3:23, I want to cover it but I don't know the rules regarding video game music if it's originally from it, but i know i've heard this somewhere else.

    It sounds very repetitious to me but for some reason it sounds English in the 'Green sleeves' style.

    Oh, I'll be following this thread as well... I've been looking for similar music to sing.

    One idea is to check out Celtic Women, they have of course more "modern" interpretation, but a lot of the songs they sing are traditional celtic songs.

    Personally I like the Chieftains and the Dubliners and at the moment I am d/l The Bothy Band collection but not sure how good they are?

    I know a vocal version of "Greensleeves" but I dont think it would escape sensorship.
    Anyway it went back to more ancient times.

    John if it is a genuine certified historical script I see no problem as opposed to a modern day smutty version. I have a very interesting version of variations for Flute absolutely beautiful

    Should be something in among this extensive site

    http://www2.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

    Free downloadable scores, electronic MIDI renditions etc., composers back to 1500's or before, all sorts of choral works; easy to refine searches by categories, e.g. composers, eras, sacred/secular, madrigals, motets, glees, rounds, to name a few categories!
    Cheers MIKE.

    Colin,
    I've just realised that you are the one who keeps awakening the semi-defunct thread (Started Oct 08 and still on second page).
    Please tell me your purpose so we can all let loose.
