Toward the Core 100, song by song
The songbooks preserve the words and chords; the melodies are the endangered part. These pages restore them as staff notation, one song at a time, for the songs sung most widely in Rainbow circles around the world — 90 so far, on the way to a vetted Core 100. The songbooks behind them are gathered in the Rainbow Songbook Collection, and the method, briefly explains how songs are chosen and checked.
Songs are listed by how many of the collection’s songbooks print them, most widely printed first.
Songs documented from first-person carriers rather than the songbook corpus.
