There were three Ravens: Songs, rounds and catches by Thomas Ravenscroft

Album by Thomas Ravenscroft & The Consort of Musicke

There Were Three Ravens: Songs, Rounds and Catches is a song collection by Thomas Ravenscroft, published in 1609. The collection presents English Renaissance vocal music — rounds, catches and part-songs rooted in folk tradition — exemplifying early 17th-century communal singing practices and occupying a place among Ravenscroft's compilations that helped preserve and transmit traditional melodies into later musical scholarship.
