"High Germany" is an English air in 4/4 time and E Minor. It was collected by Cecil Sharp in 1906 and by Percy Grainger in Winchcombe in Gloucestershire. "High Germany" is an old term which refers to the mountainous southern part of Germany. In old German, it was called Hochdeutschland and the region gives its names to the High German dialects. The term is first found in medieval Latin as Germania Superior, in the Imago mundi of Honorius Augustodunensis (12th century, Regensburg): Ab Danubio usque ad Alpes est Germania Superior, "From the Danube to the Alps is High Germany". The tune was used by Ralph Vaughan Williams in his English Folk Song Suite in the Folk Songs from Somerset movement along with "John Barleycorn" and "Blow Away the Morning Dew". There are three versions in the Roud Folk Song Index as #904 ("High Germany" in 4/4), #1445 ("True Lovers") and #5608 ("The Wars O' Germanie" in 3/4 0r 6/8). It was recorded by Judy Collins on Maid of Constant Sorrow and Golden Apples of the Sun, Martin Carthy, The Dubliners, Pentangle and by a number of others.
