Anthems in Eden was a 1969 album by Shirley and Dolly Collins, with The Early Music Consort of London, directed by David Munrow. It consists of a set of folk songs with musical arrangements that include early music instruments, such as viols, recorders, sackbuts and crumhorns. The musical arrangement is strikingly original, and nothing like it has been recorded before or since.
