Arranged for medium voice and piano, these songs are among the best in the English folk traditioiu, and through the survival of Border ballads and others in the United States, in the American folk tradition as well. The editor has provided a general introduction to the field of English folksong and substantial notes on all of the songs, citing related versions, historical allu- sions, etc. Amateur and professional singers will find this collection to be of unusually high quality, and it is of great interest to collectors, musicolooists and historians of culture. We have made every effort to make this the best book possible. Pages are sewn in signatures, in the method traditionally used for the best books, and will not drop out, as often happens with paperbacks held together with glue.
Books open flat for easy reference.
The binding will not crack or split. This is a permanent book.
