Catherine King (Sopran) - Stephen Charlesworth (Bariton) - Charles Daniels (Tenor) - Leigh Nixon (Tenor) - Rogers Covey-Crump (Tenor) // Bibliothek der Universität Cambridge, MS Ff.I.17(1) - Copied around 1200, this songbook was discarded within a generation and used as flyleaves for another book. It was poorly written, decayed and damp, some unknown benefactor preserved this wealth of music and poetry. The songbook then remained hidden for some six hundred years.
