Three 17th Century Songs and a Dance for Valentine’s Day - edited by Tamsin Lewis
St Valentine’s Day was a popular festival in 17th Century England. It was a time for lovers (or would be lovers) to express their feelings, and to exchange gifts.
Music in three parts, two treble clef and one bass clef. Suitable for singers and all instruments.
