Listed durations differ, but they describe individual scores and may not represent a definitive performance length; use the score markings and your own judgment to set a pace.

Attribution and missing details

The settings are credited to 'Misc Traditional' or 'anon.', with no named composer. The available information does not identify the tune's origin, instrumentation or a single canonical form. Treat each score as a separate setting and verify details against a reliable edition or performance source if you need them.
