The songs sung by many folk groups tell a storyPretty Peg - - As I gaed up by yon gate-end, - When day was waxin' weary, - Wha did I meet come down the street, - But pretty Peg, my dearie! - 2. Her air sae sweet, an' shape complete, - Wi' nae proportion wanting, - The Queen of Love did never move - Wi' motion mair enchanting. - - 3. Wi' linked hands we took the sands, - Adown yon winding river; - Oh, that sweet hour and shady bower, - Forget it shall I never! |
Folk Groups - Quotations.
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
