The Folk Songs choral collection explores the musical world of Great Britain and Ireland. It contains 21 arrangements of English-language verse songs, canons, and ballads for mixed unaccompanied chorus. The folk songs are as diverse as the stories they tell: from the moving Greensleeves and Two hearts beat as one, through charming settings such as A rosebud by my early walk and There were three ravens, to saucy and tongue-in-cheek songs such as Dashing away with the smoothing iron and The mother-in-law. The stylistic treatment is very varied: the collection contains both original settings from the 13th century as well as arrangements specially commissioned from contemporary composers for the collection. The settings are in three to five parts, and the vocal parts sometimes divide. They are by well-known British and Irish composers such as Benjamin Britten, Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Charles Villiers Stanford, as well as contemporary composers such as John Rutter and Carsten Gerlitz - who give a new twist to these traditional songs. Calmus Ensemble has recorded six arrangements from this collection for their CD Folk Songs (Carus 83.034).

This lovely original ballad for strings sounds like it was based on a traditional folk song. Carl Strommen has a way of writing memorable melodies and lush harmonies. Lonestar sounds like an American cowboy song, and will stretch the musicianship of your young students.
The plaintive opening in Violin 1 (optional solo) then joined with Violin 2 (optional solo) at m. 9 suggests an early morning sunrise on the vast Western prairie. With each new section, the sun slowly emerges and rises in full glory at m. 41. The performance of Lonestar will be most effective when played broadly, with expression, observing all dynamics and tempo changes. To present this musical portrait more clearly, the conductor is encouraged to take advantage of the interpretive opportunities that Lonestar provides.

Waly, Waly is a well known Applachian folksong The water is wide and is a traditional English melody associated with the song O Waly, Waly, gin love be bony, the words of which most likely date back to Ramsay's Tea Table Miscellany (1724-1732), and as the setting for a folk ballad about Jamie Douglas. The imagery of the lyrics describes the challenges of love: Love is planted, there it grows; however, as time progresses, when it is old it groweth cold. Even true love, the lyrics say, fades away like morning dew. Many different versions of the lyrics exist and in 1906 Cecil Sharp consolidated and named The Water Is Wide from multiple older sources in southern England.

This solo collection presents 19 iconic melodies from the American traditional song book plus 6 modern original compositions by William Bay, president of Mel Bay Publications; all selections have been arranged in tablature for the 5-string banjo in gDGBD tuning by Catalonian multi-instrumentalist and bluegrass specialist, Llu?s G?mez.Any collection of American ballads would be incomplete without settings of the beautiful melodies penned by Stephen Foster, several of which appear here including Beautiful Dreamer, Darling Nellie Gray, I Dream of Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair, and Hard Times, Come Again No More. Some of these tunes are arranged in uncommon banjo keys, all without retuning the banjo or using a capo. These keys may be challenging at first but will teach you a lot about the banjo fretboard.The authorÃ?s generous preface offers tips on practice, performance and interpretation rarely found in tablature collections such as these, but this book has it all, including online recordings of each arrangement.
