Anybody want to play 20 questions?

I guess so. Also, Sternvogel didn’t make a suggestion right away so I thought why not…

  1. No.

Western European song?

2.Yes

generally considered classical music?

3.No

Written after 1900?

4.No

Holy crap. I thought all European music written before 1900 was classical. :eek: Now what?

How about written during or after the 14th century?

  1. It’s pretty unclear when exactly it originated. MAYBE around 1400 (which would make it late 14th/early 15th century) as I read on one website, though some believe it to be even older.

Was the composer from the British Isles?

  1. Most probably yes.
  1. Does the song have words or lyrics?
  1. Yes! (It wouldn’t really be a song otherwise, now would it?)

Could be an instrumental

  1. Is it a religiously themed song?

8.No

Is it considered a children’s song today?

  1. No

Hint: it’s been recorded by several artists.

Does a Simon and Garfunkel song reference any of the lyrics?
