Affectionately gathered together in this book are the songs that have held first place in the hearts of many people for many years. Here are the melodies of farmers and spinners, fishermen and cowboys, soldiers and sailors-the hymns, carols, spirituals-the work songs, marching songs, play songs, dance songs, festival songs, drinking songs-songs from the towns of England, the moors of Scotland, the fields of Ireland, the plains of the American West, the hills of Kentucky-songs familiar everywhere along with many others that folk song enthusiasts consider their own private discoveries. Each of the 147 songs is arranged and illustrated to fill the eyes, the ears, and the heart with pleasure. So that the songs may be sung around the piano at home with full enjoyment of their haunting melodies, new and rich arrangements have been made especially for this volume. hot
