The manuscript sources of medieval song rarely fit the description of 'songbook' easily. Instead, they are very often mixed compilations that place songs alongside other diverse contents, and the songs themselves may be inscribed as texts alone or as verbal and musical notation. This book looks afresh at these manuscripts through ten case studies, representing key sources in Latin, French, German, and English from across Europe during the Middle Ages. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert and treats a case study in detail, including a listing of the manuscript's overall contents, a summary of its treatment in scholarship, and up-to-date bibliographical references. Drawing on recent scholarly methodologies, the contributors uncover what these books and the songs within them meant to their medieval audience and reveal a wealth of new information about the original contexts of songs both in performance and as committed to parchment.

This treasure trove of an anthology is full to the brim with songs and seasonal verses that will delight children and encourage them to sing and play. Illustrated throughout with colour images, the Winter Songbook features four thematic sections: `Christmas', `Winter Indoors', `Wintry Weather' and `Winter Outdoors'. Providing ample material for teachers and parents, the book also includes selections of rhyming words, commentary on the significance of repetition, rhythm and beat, suggestions for seasonal stories, and practical teaching and parenting tips. For years, teachers, parents and students have requested that Sally Schweizer publish her collections of songs and verses - so here they are, presented in four wonderful anthologies to inspire the imagination and to celebrate the seasonal cycle!

These songs have been sung in prisons and pilgrimages, at open-air festivals and in house groups, by cathedral choirs and teenage music groups. Some have been roadcast live across Europe, others have helped those who think they can't sing to change their self perception. They are short songs:some from the mists of time, some from present-day Scotland, some from the World Church. They help people to participate and move in worship in a way conventional hymns cannot. Because they have proved their worth in everything from a Benedictine abbey to a psychiatric unit, they are offered to a wider public.
