Notes & Reviews:

This album is devoted to the songs of May Day festivals and rites, the celebration of the springtime, the only pretty ring-time. The tradition of this community singing goes back to the Middle Ages, with large numbers of songs handed down in later times. Note that because knowledge of how these songs exactly sounded in the past has been lost to time, most of the songs appear here in modern arrangements, so there are some unexpected contemporary harmonic effects at times.
