Track Listing

# Title
1 When boughs are green in April
2 Ho there old dog
3 The most beautiful piece
4 The time then was well chosen
5 Someone is coming!
6 Before that I was twenty
7 So learned a clerk
8 Heigho a pretty knave!
9 He’ll lie all day in the sun
10 As I was walking
11 Monster! Villian!
12 Of all the birds
13 Are not you a coward?
14 I am a rogue
15 We two saw you four
16 I know you all
17 Do thou stand
18 I’ faith sweetheart
19 Devouring Time
20 How now! What news?
21 Harry is valiant
22 For God’s sake
23 Now comes in the sweetest morsel

The Review

Rating
4.5/5
“This is my favorite recording of The Wandering Scholar (same as on the Previn / Egdon Heath album) and Boar’s Head is very well imagined.”
