Written and sung by bards in the Middle Ages throughout the English countryside, Scarborough Fair has its origins as far back as 1253 during the reign of King Henry the VIII. During that year, the King proclaimed that there would be a fair in the Yorkshire town of Scarborough and that fair held during August until September. In the folk song, a man asks someone if they are going to the festival in Scarborough. If they are, he asks them to find a former love of his to tell her to perform a series of impossible tasks. Some of these tasks include making him a shirt without seams and washing it in a well without water. If she completed these tasks, she would win his affections once more. The lyrics of this ballad also include the four herbs parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme. More than just mere words, these herbs serve a purpose. Parsley used to treat indigestion. Sage is a symbol of strength. Rosemary represents love and faithfulness, and thyme represents courage.

This arrangement of Scarborough Fair is for Horn Quartet, and it is 2 minutes, 11 seconds long.
