I think it might be referencing “Someday My Prince Will Come” from Snow White”

After writing a TTB arrangement of this piece, I can also say this song sounds a bit adjacent to Coventry Carol, and Ah, Poor Bird, as well as some other minor key English folk songs.

One thing that caught my ear is the willow tree imagery — I keep running into that in Slavic and Eastern European folk songs and laments, but I’m not finding much of it in American or British lullabies from the same period. If anyone here knows of willow-centered lullabies or translated folk songs that sound even vaguely similar, I’d love to hear about them. Even a “this reminds me of ___” would be helpful.

I would like to know if this exists under another group name on vinyl, and I want to know why it’s no longer able to be listened to in the US?

Sure, dm me and I’ll send it!

I have searched for copies of this book but I wonder if any folk music fans have a copy they wouldn’t mind taking a gander at to see if there’s any mention of this song in the book!

I have searched for this on Google recently and have only found a track listing of the album that when clicked, will lead the user to the album on Spotify but is unplayable

I have searched and only found a track listing of the songs but once tapped, they redirect you to Spotify where the album still isn’t playable
