I've always loved Simon and Garfunkle's version of Scarborough Fair/Canticle. Recently I ran across this lovely live version with Andy Williams joining:
Want more? Here is a beautifully sung version by Amy Nuttall with some history thrown in:
Another one of my favorite versions of this song is called Rosemary Faire (Song of Lughnasadh) performed by awesome Irish harpist Aine Minogue. I can't find a full version to direct you to online, but you can hear a clip here, or download it on iTunes for 99 cents. And the Celtic Woman version of Scarborough Fair is not bad either.
Happy Musical- Medieval Day to you!

If you love Scarborough Fair, then I have to recommend Nancy Werlin's book Impossible. She used the song as the basis for an amazing fantasy novel--so good! Thanks for the video links and recommendations!
Oooo- that sounds just up my alley. Just put a hold on it at the library. Thanks for the recommendation Heather!
Beautiful music. You really forget all the great music that has been around for so long. This is simply sublime.
Enjoyed the Andy Williams contribution (I have 2 S&G recordings) and am intrigued by Heather's book suggestion.
Will order it at the library and read it once I've finished the nine handmade books!Must.Be.Strong.Willed.
I love the Amy Version
