The songs sung by many folk groups tell a story

zzShepherd Of The Downs - . - A shepherd of the downs being weary of his port - Retired to the hills where he used to resort - In want of refreshment he laid himself down - |: He wanted no riches, nor wealth from the crown. :| - 2. He drank of the cold brook he ate of the tree - Himself he did enjoy from all sorrow was free - He valued no girl be she ever so free - |: No pride nor ambition he valued no care. :| - - 3. As he was a-walking one evening so clear - A heavenly voice sounded sweet in his ear - He stood like a post not one step could he mov - |: He knew not what ailed him but thought it was love. :| - - 4. He beheld a young damsel a fair modest bride - She had something amiss and disguised in her face - Disguised in her face she unto him did say - |: How now, master shepherd, how came you this way? :|

What has been said about Folk Groups.

Much has been written about folk music and folk groups. Here are some quotations:-

To handle folk tunes is one of the most difficult tasks; equally difficult, if not more so than to write a major original composition. If we keep in mind that borrowing a tune means being bound by its individual peculiarity, we shall understand one part of the difficulty. Another is created by the special character of folk tune. We must penetrate into it, feel it and bring out its sharp contours by the appropriate setting.~ Bela Bartok
