Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Old French and English Ballads The music of these songs has been taken, as a rule, from the oldest forms available, and for the choice between them, when variants exist, the editor's liking has been the sole determinisz ing factor. With regard to time, it is as well to notice that the minim must be taken at the rate of a crotchet in our days. When the type was designed a question arose as to the use of bars. Bars are a device to awaken a sense of rhythm in those naturally deficient in it, unknown to music at the time when these songs were writ, ten, and we have not thought it necessary to in, trude them. The emphasis must be determined by the words themselves, even the relative length of the notes is a matter of approximation only. A song like la Courte Pa1lle for ex, ample, which has never been conventionalised, can only be written down by varying the time signature from bar to bar, and even then the re: which I mean one who sings the words to be understood, intuitively produces. The best ac, companiment for them is a lute, or failing that, a guitar. No word of praise of poems which have been loved and sung by artists and poets since they knew them shall be added. They are.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads Lyrics of Old France: With Other Poems I. Charles D'Orleans, who has sometimes, for no very obvious reason, been styled the father of French lyric poetry, was born in May, 1391. He was the son of Louis D'Orleans, the grandson of Charles V., and the father of Louis XII. Captured at Agincourt, he was kept in England as a prisoner from 1415 to 1440, when he returned to France, where he died in 1465. His verses, for the most part roundels on two rhymes, are songs of love and spring, and retain the allegorical forms of the Roman de la Rose. II Francois Villon, 1431-14 - ? Nothing is known of Villon 's birth or death, and only too much of his life. In his poems the ancient forms of French verse are animated with the keenest sense of personal emotion, of love, of melancholy, of mocking despair, and of repentance for a life passed in taverns and prisons. III. Joachim Du Bellay, 1525-1560. The exact date of Du Bellay's birth is unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Ballads Unlike the earlier collections of ballads, this little volume is offered to the public without apology for the poems; they have long since established themselves in the body of our literature. Many teachers, however, have been unable to put them into the hands of their pupils for want of a cheap yet faithful text, and this edition is offered in the hope of answering such a need. The little trouble necessary for mastering the somewhat antiquated forms of the language will be amply repaid by the fuller knowledge that will be gained of the real thought and feeling of our ancestors. I am indebted to Professor Frederick Tupper, Jr., of the University of Vermont, for many valuable suggestions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads and Songs of Brittany The Brittany which still retains so much of its ancient tongue, national character, and local usages, as to separate its population from that of the rest of France even more distinctly than the Welsh or the Highlanders are separated from the English, comprehends the three departments of Finistere, Morbihan, and the Cotes du Nord. These departments include the four ancient bishoprics of St, Pol de Leon, or the Leonnais, Cornouaille, Vannes, and Treguier, each of which was formerly, and is still in great measure, a district with distinct dress, usages, and local character, both in the landscape and the people.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty-Four French Folk-Songs and Variants From Canada, Normandy, and Brittany The language that is spoken there is descended in a direct line from the language of Louis XIV, and Canada's repertory of popular songs is closely similar to what has been preserved by tradi tion and is still kept alive among the peasants on the other side of the ocean. One may even say that the Canadians are more deeply attached to ancient usages than are the French of to-day, and have more faithfully preserved the treasures of their folk-lore than have their brothers who remained at home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Guillaume De Dole: An Unpublished Old French Romance In an introduction of thirty verses the author dedicates his poem to Miles de Nantheuil (of whom later) and asserts his claim to being the first to intercalate chansons in such a work, an invention in which he boasts of having so happily succeeded in making the songs suit the circumstances they are intended to embellish, that they could readily be thought to be of his own composition. In the present analysis no attempt will be made to indicate these frequently recurring intercalations, which lend so graceful a charm and so pleasing a variety to the simple nar rative which follows.
