The Merry Sherwood Ranger: A Musical Glimpse into the Legendary World of Robin Hood and His Men This music sheet, titled "The Musical Bouquet: The Merry Sherwood Ranger," transports us back to the enchanting realm of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Dating from the 1840s, this historical artifact is a testament to the enduring allure of the legendary figure and his tales. The sheet music, composed by Alexander Lee to lyrics penned by J. Halford, features an illustration of Robin Hood and his companions, Paul, John, Little John, Friar Tuck, and a mysterious figure with a horn, gathered around a table in the heart of Sherwood Forest. The men are depicted in various stages of merriment, with Robin raising a glass in a toast, Paul and John drinking heartily, and Little John and Friar Tuck sharing a light-hearted moment. Robin Hood, the legendary hero of the forest, is shown wearing his iconic green doublet, belt, and feathered hat. His men, clad in tunics and hose, display their weapons – bows, daggers, and horns – as they celebrate the camaraderie and joy that defines their brotherhood. The title of the song, "The Merry Sherwood Ranger," reflects the upbeat and lively spirit of the music, which was sung by the renowned vocalist Paul Bedford. The lyrics, steeped in the mythology and folklore of the Middle Ages, evoke the tales of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, who roamed the forests of Nottingham, righting wrongs and bringing laughter to the people. This unique piece of music history offers a fascinating glimpse into the Victorian interpretation of the Robin Hood legend, merging the historical and the mythological, the medieval and the modern, and the serious and the light-hearted in a harmonious blend of music and storytelling.
