Description
Bryd one brere, c. 1290–1320, is the oldest surviving secular love song in the English language with a complete lyric. The music is problematic - see http://earlymusicmuse.com/birdonabriar for an explanation of this solution. The lead voice is missing in the music - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9KwItjaathE for constructions of the lead voice.
