Origin ?
Thanks, Will - someone was asking about this on "Chiff & Fipple" the other day. I'll direct them to this, if someone hasn't done it already.
As for the initial comments, although the composer might be unknown, given the 4 written sources provided, I don't think there can be much doubt about the country of origin !
