Walsingham was a popular Elizabethan ballad tune. There are various versions of the lyrics, which relate to the pilgrimage site. The tune provided inspiration for Elizabethan composers, notably William Byrd. Byrd wrote a set of keyboard variations called Have with Yow to Walsingame ("Be off to Walsingham"). In some sources it is called "As I went to Walsingham", the first line of the following quatrain. To the shrine with speed, Met I with a jolly palmer〔"Palmer" meant a pilgrim in those days, since pilgrims returning from the Holy Land traditionally brought back a palm branch.〕 In a pilgrim's weed. ==History of the pilgrimage== Walsingham is a pilgrimage site in Norfolk, England, where, according to Catholic belief, a Saxon noblewoman, Richeldis de Faverches, had a vision of the Virgin Mary. The shrine was dismantled in 1538 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries. (It has since been revived). Attitudes towards pilgrimages varied, reflecting the Catholic/Protestant divide. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Walsingham (music)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
