Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Songs and Ballads My former Songs were wedded to the me lodies of my native land, a land rich in melodies that have outlived the discord of centuries, not in moth-decayed manuscripts, or in costly folios, but in the hearts alike of noble and peasant; in the cottage and in the palace; ever fresh and sweet, never dying or growing old.

Download or read book Some Old French and English Ballads Classic Reprint written by Robert Steele and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Old French and English Ballads The Ballad Poetry of a country is its most characteristic and its most enduring contribution to the romantic movement. Literary Romanticism has now swayed all currents of thought, again been banished in favour of classicism and formality, and once again triumphed, but through it all the love, the wonder, the terror, the imaginative spirit of these songs have been the unfailing refuge of the many from the narrowness of life, the inexhaustible source from which literature has at each renaissance drawn renewed strength and vigour. The little selection of some score of French and English Ballads now printed is perhaps the more representative of the popular poetry of the two countries, because it is not wholly anonymous or wholly popular. A poem, a folk-tale is not truly representative of its country until it can pass freely from cottage to palace, welcome alike and claiming kinship in either. The song which takes its rise among the people must be resung by the poet before it has lost its dross, the poet's composition must be censored by the million before it appeals to that universal element to which all great work is addressed. Simplicity, nobility, and the fortunate chance which says the unexpected right thing - all these must come together.

The authori ties of the Harvard College Library have shown the utmost courtesy; Professor Kittredge has helped the editor in revising the proof-sheets of the Introduction, and for the Glossary and Notes has not only given the same generous service, - a service valued best by those who know his command of Middle English, -but has made a number of important suggestions; while Pro fessor Child, in addition to the sympathy and encourage ment of which he is so prodigal, has kindly looked through the proof-sheets of the Glossary.

Download or read book Songs and Ballads Classic Reprint written by Fanny Raymond-Ritter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs and Ballads Rather less than half the songs and ballads in the accompanying collection have already appeared in English and American periodicals and as some among these have been several times illustrated by composers, while to a few the compliment of translation has been accorded, their re-appearance here may not prove unwelcome to their former readers. Others now appear in print for the first time. Part of the transcriptions might be more truly termed free fan tasias (in musical parlance) on fragments, broken verses, of partially lost folk-songs; others, to which the authors' names are appended, are as true to their originals as befits translations that rather aim at preserving the spirit than the letter. With the exception of one or two of which I have seen English prose versions, and the Servian song, which Lord Lytton had already translated, these appear, I believe, for the first time in our language.

Download or read book The New Penguin Book of English Folk Songs written by Julia Bishop and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2012-06-07 with total page 666 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the Spectator's Books of the Year 2012 'Farewell and adieu to you fair Spanish ladies Farewell and adieu to you ladies of Spain For we've received orders for to sail for old England But we hope in a short while to see you again' One of the great English popular art forms, the folk song can be painful, satirical, erotic, dramatic, rueful or funny. They have thrived when sung on a whim to a handful of friends in a pub; they have bewitched generations of English composers who have set them for everything from solo violin to full orchestra; they are sung in concerts, festivals, weddings, funerals and with nobody to hear but the singer. This magical new collection brings together all the classic folk songs as well as many lesser-known discoveries, complete with music and annotations on their original sources and meaning. Published in cooperation with the English Folk Dance and Song Society, it is a worthy successor to Ralph Vaughan Williams and A.L.Lloyd's original Penguin Book of English Folk Songs. 'Her keen eye did glitter like the bright stars by night The robe she was wearing was costly and white Her bare neck was shaded with her long raven hair And they called her pretty Susan, the pride of Kildare' In association with EFDSS, the English Folk Dance and Song Society
