Worlds Folk sonoa.

The subject Of folk song is indeed
inexhaustible. The Scotch, Irish and
welsh songs are all interesting in their
several ways, and there are also songs
OF RoumaEla, of many Scandinavian
nations, of Greece and of the Neither
lands, which have not been mentioned.
The only way to understand and en-
Joy all these songs is, of course, to
hear them, to sing them. and thus to
become thoroughly familiar with their
characteristics and with the various
and changing emotions they express.
