English Folk Song, Some Conclusions (Classic Reprint)

Sharp, Cecil James
English Folk Song, Some Conclusions (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from English Folk Song, Some ConclusionsThe 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 y...

The Country Dance Book, Vol. 1

Sharp, Cecil James
The Country Dance Book, Vol. 1
Excerpt from The Country Dance Book, Vol. 1: Containing a Description of Eighteen Traditional Dances Collected in Country VillagesUp till a few years ago it was commonly believed that the English race was the only one in Europe that was unable to make any contribution to the literature of folk-song. Opinions may still be divided as to the artistic worth of our national folk-songs, but their existence, and in great abundance, can no longer be d...

English Folk-Chanteys

Sharp, Cecil James
English Folk-Chanteys
Excerpt from English Folk-Chanteys: With Pianoforte Accompaniment, Introduction and Notes Of these, the last two are at once the most recent and, in my opinion, the most authoritative. Each is the compilation of a professional sailor and avowedly a one - man collection, containing those chanteys only which its author had himself heard and learned at sea. Here, of course, Mr. Whall and Mr. Bullen have the advantage of me. I have no technical ...

Folk-Songs of England, Vol. 3: Folk-Songs from Hampshire ...

Sharp, Cecil James
Folk-Songs of England, Vol. 3: Folk-Songs from Hampshire (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Folk-Songs of England, Vol. 3: Folk-Songs From HampshireIf, however, English folk-song is to be made popular, the words must be published in a singable form. Our guiding principle has been, therefore, to alter those phrases only to which objection might reasonably be made. No vocalist would sing words that are pointless, or ungrammatical. Nor could he, even if he would, sing accurately in dialect. Happily, however, dialect is not ...

Sharp, Cecil James
The Country Dance Book, Vol. 6
Excerpt from The Country Dance Book, Vol. 6: Containing Fifty-Two Country Dances From the English Dancing Master (1650-1728) The dances For-four and the Square-eights have proved more amenable, and every one of the dances of these two types that the Playford books contain has now been deciphered and printed: I would that there were more of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. F...
