Epping Forest sheet music

Epping Forest appears as three short scores of a tune in 6/8. Two versions begin with one flat (F major) and one with one sharp, so the available keys differ. One score carries the credit 'From Playford 4th ed 1670', which points to a Playford edition dated 1670 but is not confirmed by a supplied source. The scores are brief, listed at roughly 24 to 36 seconds, and contain 132, 153 or 206 notes, so compare key and length before choosing.
