Dear all,

Many years ago, I believe via this forum, I found a most wonderful collection of songs and sea shanties in Ancient Greek and Latin. One of the songs in the collection was Old MacDonald Had a Farm. Does anyone know the title of this book and can direct me to a copy? (I am sure it is out of print, but I did find a copy online in the past).

Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Maybe “What do the animals say?” on page 19 in Rouse’s Greek and Latin Chanties.

It’s not a book, but Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers has a wonderful audio CD, Carimina Popularia: Well-Known Songs in Latin, which includes a Latin version of Old MacDonald. I have it and really enjoy it.
