Notes	Lovingly and reverently dedicated to the memory of Edvard Grieg. The Shepherd's Hey is a traditional English Morris Dance Tune collected by Cecil J. Sharp. In agricultural districts in various parts of England, teams of "Morris Men", decked out with jingling bells and other finery, can still be seen dancing to "Shepherd's Hey" and other traditional dance tunes played on the fiddle or on the "pipe and tabor" (a sort of drum and fife).
