Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on Scottish Song The principal part (I) of the following text is a verbatim copy of holograph Notes of Robert Burns in an interleaved copy of the first four volumes of Johnsons Scots Musical Museum, which belonged to Robert Riddell of Glenriddell, the friend and neighbour of Burns at Ellisland. Then follow (Ii) the Notes written by Riddell in the same volumes. The interleaves in the volumes being incomplete, I have described (Iii) the missing leaves, with the songs which faced them in the volumes, with a copy of three important notes which R.C. Cromek inserted in his Reliqucs of Robcfi Burns 1808, as from the hand of Burns. Obviously these cannot be verified. The last part (Iv) consists of a series of spurious notes, also printed by Cromek in the Reliqucs. These are not in the volumes, and never were there. The object of the present small book is simply to correct the misleading statements of Cromek, whose work was received with acclamation, and was so successful that a second edition was printed in 1809. In the year 1813 it was again published as the fifth volume of Curries Works of Robert BurnSy and the Notes now referred to, being a considerable and important part of the volume, have remained, and have been accepted as the authentic waiting of the poet.

Download or read book The Scottish Songs Vol 1 of 2 Classic Reprint written by Robert Chambers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Scottish Songs, Vol. 1 of 2 From these motives, and with these views, the present' collection was undertaken. It will be found to contain'all the songs written in and regarding Scotland, which have either the me rit of being Old and characteristic, or that of being new and popular. No original songs are admitted, as in most other collections because it is inconsistent with the idea of a collection of the best songs of a country, that some should be accepted which have not yet endured the or deal of public taste. In an Introductory Essay, a view is given of all the facts known with cer tainty regarding Scottish Song in general and to almost all the songs are appended notes, con taining such anecdotes, and other pieces of in formation, referring to them individually, as the editor considered necessary for their illus tration, or at least mentioning the earliest print ed collection in which they are known to have; appeared. No songs of an indecorous nature, are introduced while from one or two others which are included, the objectionable passages. Are silently omitted; the editor judging it bet ter to fit his book, by that very slight sacrifice, for the use of the tasteful, the fair, and the young, than to consult the wishes of the antiquary; who, after all, has but little reason to complain of such violations, seeing that the songs are to be found, in all their native boau ty, in the collections of Ramsay and Herd.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Song: A Selection of the Choicest Lyrics of Scotland The peculiar merits of the Songs of Scotland have so often been insisted upon, that little remains for me here, except to point out what my aim has been in adding one more to the already long list of printed collections. Hitherto compilers have studied to have quantity rather than quality; there is not a sufficient number of really excellent Scottish Songs, exclusive of Burns's, to fill more than a small volume; so that the wheat has in few cases been separated from the chaff.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

It may excite surprise to know, but nevertheless it is undeniable, that no publication of the kind here aimed at, whether as regards extent of design in text and commentary, or adaptation in size and price for general circulation, has hitherto been attempted, amid the multifarious song-collections that have issued from the press. Ritson, near the close of the last century, was the first, as an editor of Scottish song, who endea voured to ascertain the age and authorship of the pieces in his work, and his example has been followed by one or two other editors; but the compilations adverted to are at once limited in their range, and removed by their cost be yond the reach of ordinary purchasers. Ritson's collection did not, in all, amount to more than our.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Scottish Song: A Comprehensive Collection of the Most Approved Songs of Scotland, With Historical and Critical Notices Regarding Them and Their Authors and an Essay on the Song Writers of Scotland The book OF scottish song contains, in all, somewhere about twelve hundred and seventy songs; and it is presumed that every standard lyric in the language - every song of established reputation - is included within its pages. Some omissions may possibly have been made; but the Editor trusts that they are of a Very unimportant character.* A large number of the songs in the collection are taken from hitherto unexplored sources, and may be con sidered (to use Coleridge's phrase) as good as manuscript. Another portion, though not so large, are bona fide originals, ' that is to say, they have the claim to originality at least, in having been here first printed. Of this portion, about one hundred and thirty in all, many, it is confidently trusted, will be admitted even by the most fastidious, to possess very superior merit; while the whole, though forming but a subordinate feature of the work, will be found, it is hoped, to add no inconsiderable or unworthy heap to the lofty and ever accumulating cairn of Scottish song.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scottish Song: Its Wealth, Wisdom, and Social Significance The title which this little volume bears, sufficiently explains the reason of its appearance, and whatever small claims it may be able to advance for originality in a theme so often and so ably handled by experts in the folk-lore and the popular music of their country. I have no pretensions either to the scientific knowledge or to the curious literary research which might enable me to compete with these men of skill, and to share in any part of the praise which they have so justly earned; I only thought I might do some good, in an age urged by various stimulating forces to seek after what is new rather than to hold by what is true, if I should present, in a sort of dramatic totality, the wealth of moral, intellectual, and aesthetical nutriment of the best kind that lies stored in our heritage of national song.
