Thomas Ravenscroft was an English musician, theorist and editor, notable as a composer of rounds and catches, and especially for compiling collections of British folk music. Ravenscroft's principal contributions are his collections of folk music, including catches, rounds, street cries, vendor songs, "freeman's songs" and other anonymous music, in three collections: ''Pammelia'' (1609), ''Deuteromelia or The Seconde Part of Musicks Melodie'' (1609) and ''Melismata'' (1611), which contains one of the best-known works in his collections, ''The Three Ravens''. Some of the music he compiled has acquired extraordinary fame, though his name is rarely associated with the music; for example ''Three Blind Mice'' first appears in ''Deuteromelia''. He also published a metrical psalter ([[The Whole Booke of Psalmes (Thomas Ravenscroft)|''The Whole Booke of Psalmes '']]) in 1621.
