This second volume of the songs of Scottish poet Robert Burns contains 70 songs excerpted from the chapter The Lasses in a larger collection of 324 Burns songs compiled and researched by Serge Hovey. It includes songs expressing the poet's passion for his wife Jean, and for that other species. Robert Burns (1759-1796) spent his life collecting Scottish songs, using fragments of existing lyrics as the basis for his own poems, and wrote original lyrics for traditional melodies. Burns left for posterity about 270 poems and more than 300 songs which are usually printed without their tunes. Serge Hovey meticulously examined Burns' own sources, letters, and manuscripts to determine the origin of every tune and all the verses as well as Burns' intended match of words and music. He then arranged each song with highly imaginative and beautiful accompaniments geared for pianists with average skills. This volume is illustrated with reproductions of paintings, drawings, and prints. These volumes also contain a glossary of frequently appearing Scots words and insightful historical notes for each song.

It's a beautiful piano ballad arrangement with an intermediate difficulty level.

The melancholic ballad became one of their biggest hits, topped the charts in the US, and was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

In 1999, it was voted the best song of the 20th century in a BBC poll, and the No. 1 pop song of all time by both MTV and the Rolling Stone magazine in 2000.

It's also one of the most covered songs ever written, with over 2,000 recorded cover versions.

Time for you to play it, too!

Here are the full lyrics to "Yesterday" by the Beatles:

Yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly
I'm not half the man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Here's how to play "Fairytale of New York" by The Pogues on piano!

With this sheet music, you get an accurate piano arrangement of the full song which is playable, and sounds fantastic!

The full melody is included in the piano part, so it makes for a perfect instrumental (piano solo) cover.

Of course, you can also use this piano arrangement to accompany a singer, or sing along yourself - this sheet music includes a system for the singer, as well as the song's full lyrics.

Written by Jem Finer and Shane MacGowan, "Fairytale of New York" is a beautiful Irish folk ballad. The Pogues recorded it together with Kirsty MacColl, and included it on their 1988 album "If I Should Fall from Grace with God".

Released as a single in November 1987, "Fairytale of New York" became one of the most popular Christmas songs in the UK and is even considered the best Christmas song of all time.

It's certainly not your typical feel-good Christmas song - it covers issues like alcoholism and drug abuse, wrecked dreams, and comes with quite a few slurs and swear words.
At the same time, it's also a song with an honest message of love and hope, and it might just be what one needs to hear during the Christmas season.

In any case, it's a wonderful song to play on the piano - with this sheet music, you can play it, too!

If you like this arrangement, please consider leaving a review - it would mean a lot.
