The White Rose is a traditional Cornish folk song, the chorus of which appeared in the film Ladies in Lavender (2005). The song remains popular and has been recorded by many of the Cornish male voice choirs and is often performed at funerals. In 2001 it was read at the funeral of Rick Rescorla, Cornish hero of 9/11.

Folk songs include "Sweet Nightingale", "Little Eyes", and "Lamorna". [6] Few traditional Cornish lyrics survived the decline of the language. In some cases lyrics of common English songs became attached to older Cornish tunes. Some folk tunes have Cornish lyrics written since the language revival of the 1920s.
