Is that the same as "Sumer is Icumen In" by John of Fornsete (13th c.)? We
have a recording of that song, but it is only 1 minute 44 seconds and I
think remember the dance being longer than that (?). This one sounds like
"Three Blind Mice" (Not to be confused with Larvana or Picking of Sticks,
whatever).

This song is also in Avatar's Medieval music book (pg. 146).
