Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Folk Song, Some Conclusions The question, too, admits of no doubt. Folk-songs, genuinely and demonstrably English, have already been gathered in their hundreds, and of a quality at least as remarkable as their number. The work of collection, too, on any comprehensive scale, has only just begun. The larger part of rural England is still virgin soil; while of those districts that have already been visited, very few have, as yet, been explored-with any degree of thoroughness. The future, therefore, may hold still greater surprises in store for us. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Posy of Folk Songs In the Garden (An Old French Song) In a gay garden filled with flowers All days and hours, God formed man in His likeness, And gave him here Of love, wherewith his days to bless, A pledge most dear. Adam lay down in the sweet shade A lime tree made, Alone he lay on the green grass In quiet deep, When suddenly it came to pass He fell on sleep. There while he slept that Sovereign King The Angels sing, Took a rib gently with all care, From out his side, And formed a flower, a woman fair, To be his bride. Adam awoke in pride and joy, Without alloy, "Behold her there, bone of my bone, O God above, Give her to me, no more alone, She whom I love."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Folk-Songs of Eastern Europe Therefore, in dealing With many of the songs, I have asked the friends who have written verses for me to be guided solely by the inspiration of the melodies. There are a few exceptions to this, such as the Greek song: 0 let me wander; and the Finnish song, Sweetheart, in which the general meaning of the words found with the melodies has been followed because the thought and the feeling of them seemed suitable to the music.

Download or read book One Hundred Folk Songs From Many Countries Classic Reprint written by Henry Franklin Gilbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Hundred Folk-Songs From Many Countries This little book has been prepared with the desire to bring before the school boys and girls of America some Of the beautiful melodies of popular tradition. An acquaintance with the world's folk-songs educates and ennobles the musical sense, and unconsciously develops in the mind an appreciation of the elements Of musical form. In the preparation of this collection several thousand folk-songs have been examined, and much thought has been taken that the songs which are here presented shall be characteristic and truly representative Of the folk music Of the country from which they come. As the book is intended for use principally in the schools, the editor has studied to make the arrangements eminently practicable for this purpose. In harmonizing these folk melodies care has also been taken that the harmony used may not conflict with the spirit Of the original melody. The original words have been used in many cases, and where translations or adaptations have been made, it has been with the earnest desire to reproduce the spirit Of the original as faithfully as possible. In the case Of the original words having been lost, or being unsuited for a book of this nature, new words have been written, with the aim of expressing as nearly as possible the mood of the melody.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Folk-Songs for Schools This, we contend, is true in every particular, and national music may be said to be built up on folk melodies. Unhappily, with us the music of our race has been ignored, disparaged, and set aside; and our modern music is the outcome of the study of foreign models. \ive have been the very starlings of the musical world, acquiring the pipe and warble of strange birds, and forgetting our own wood-notes wild. In our primary and secondary schools no provision has been made for the teaching of folk-music to our children. They have been given tunes made in Germany, or composed for them by masters, English it may be, but speaking in another musical tongue from that of the people.

Download or read book Some Current Folk Songs of the Negro Classic Reprint written by W. H. Thomas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Current Folk-Songs of the Negro Now that this brochure is being reprinted by the Texas Folk Lore Society, I take the opportunity to say a word concerning its author and its history. Although not a numbered publication, Some Current Folk Songs of the Negro (1912) was the first item produced by the Texas folk-lore Society. At the time dues to the Society were two-bits a year-not enough to allow a very extensive publication. Number I (now reprinted under the title of Round the Levee) was not issued until 1916; then it was seven more years before another volume was issued, since which time, 1923, the Society has sent out a book annually to its members. The credit for initiating the Society's policy of recording the lore of Texas and the Southwest belongs to Will H. Thomas. At the time his pamphlet was issued, he was president of the organization, to which office he was elected again in 1923. His idea was that people who work with folk-lore should not only col lect it but interpret it and also enjoy it. This view is expressed in his delightful essay on The Decline and Decadence of Folk Metaphor, in Publications Number II (coffee in the Gourd) of the Society.
