Book Description
Excerpt from Folk Songs From Sussex These eleven songs are chosen from the collection which Mr. Francis Jekyll and I have been making during the last six years. At this time of day I suppose it is hardly necessary to state that the tunes are printed exactly as they were sung, without improvement of any sort. As regards the words, every collector knows that they almost always require a certain amount of editing. One reason for this is that the words as sung very frequently contain obvious errors and corruptions; perhaps a rhyming word has been forgotten and a non-rhyming one substituted. Such mistakes are easily rectified as a rule. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Forgotten Books uses state-of-the-art technology to digitally reconstruct the work, preserving the original format whilst repairing imperfections present in the aged copy.

Book Description
Excerpt from English Folk-Songs We have been rather late in the day in England in doing what other nations have long considered their duty. But this has not been altogether a disadvantage; most of the folk music of foreign countries, and much of that of Scotland, Wales and Ireland, was collected and published about 120 years ago, a period when musicians had no respect for what they found, and had no scruple in altering and improving their folk songs to make them fit the supposed correct style of the period thus none of the tunes of these early collectors are above suspicion as faithful records. But nowadays a new spirit animates the collector he wishes to preserve and put before the public exactly what he has heard - neither more nor less - and we can be sure that what ever we find in the collections of modern investigators is an accurate transcript of the songs of traditional singers.

Book Description
Excerpt from Little-Folk Songs ET golden, dear ones, rises each fair head To manly stature in full height completed, Blue eyes glance bright 'neath brows where candor seated Holds fearless sway. With ever quickening tread, The incessant years my little babes have led Far from me, flinging Childhood's toys and flowers Away, while speeding with the absolute hours To lift life's iron gage. Hope strives with dread To see you stand forth men. Backward I turn Adown the path home - bound, content to find Your tiny foot-prints, tenderly to trace Remembrances, - haply o'er which to yearn In the still house, - wherewith these leaves are lined; Yours all the sweetness that may lend them grace.

Book Description
Excerpt from Folk-Songs of England, Vol. 3: Folk-Songs From Hampshire If, however, English folk-song is to be made popular, the words must be published in a singable form. Our guiding principle has been, therefore, to alter those phrases only to which objection might reasonably be made. No vocalist would sing words that are pointless, or ungrammatical. Nor could he, even if he would, sing accurately in dialect. Happily, however, dialect is not an essential of the folk-song. Every folk-singer uses his own native language, and consequently the words of the folk-song will be sung in as many different dialects as the districts in which each individual song is found. The words, therefore, of many of the songs in this collection have been altered. Gaps have been filled up, verses omitted or softened, rhymes reconciled, redundant syllables pruned, bad grammar and dialect translated into King's English. On the other hand, archaic words and expressions have, of course, been retained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Folk-Songs of Britanny 'Twas on a February day, With waves all gray, The gallant little lad Tanguy Would go to sea. A captain's leave was quickly won. Come on! The fishing-boat sailed from the bay, Rolling away. For rolling not at all cared he, Nor pitching sea. Gaily he sang, the little son. Roll on! But one black night of storm, they say, The brig gave way. The sailors perished, all save he - In pitching sea - Left clinging to a spar alone. Hold on! And then there came a mermaid gay To where he lay, And clasped him in her arms with glee. How lovely she! She bore him home, a treasure won, Her own! Her palace 'neath the ocean gray Was fair alway, Decked with bright garlands of the sea, The rolling sea. Great fish, her guards, hither and yon Swam on!

Book Description
Excerpt from English Traditional Songs and Carols: Collected and Edited, With Annotations and Pianoforte AccompanimentsThe strength of traditional melodies is indeed almost undeniable. Originally the perfectly sincere expression of some musical soul, they have passed on from father to son, receiving the impress of simple music-lovers unaccustomed to harmony, and therefore the more critically alive to the essentials of fine melody.It should not surprise us that the weakness of folk-song is most often apparent in its verse. A child will sing before it can speak. To compose a noble melody without harmony needs no teacher; whereas the invention of good poetry presupposes a varied vocabulary, a knowledge of grammar and the rules of rhyme and rhythm, and, above all, that habit of eloquence in daily speech and thought bred solely of familiarity with books. And books, even in their simplest form, were often unknown to the country dwellers through whom these old songs have descended.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
