Copyright Information<br>
The purpose of is to be an educational resource for aspiring bards and<br>
minstrels. To that end, the songs you will find here include folk songs of<br>
western Europe,<br>
(mostly the British Isles) which come from many sources and time periods.<br>
The<br>
"Pre-1600" section contains songs that we have been able to verify as coming<br>
from that time period. They are all public domain. The "Traditional"<br>
cetegory includes songs of questionable age for which origins have not been<br>
concretely<br>
verified. To the best of our knowledge, songs in the "Traditional" section<br>
are<br>
public domain, unless otherwise noted on the song page. If we have made an<br>
error in<br>
the credits for any of these songs, or if you have more information about<br>
their origins,<br>
please inform us so we<br>
can correct the problem and add proper credits.<br>
Contemporary music<br>
We are carefully and cautiously adding well-loved period-style songs, SCA-<br>
and Rennaisance<br>
faire-related filk to the archive, crediting the the authors when their<br>
identity is known.<br>
We are making an effort to contact the authors and make sure they don't mind<br>
these songs<br>
being posted. If there is any objection we will certainly remove the<br>
material from the<br>
archive. We welcome additional information about the songs and their origins<br>
