History is reflected in the words of many songs of many folk groups

   Lord Thomas of Winesberry - . - As I look'd over the castle wall - To see what I could see, - O what should I spy but my own father's ship - |: Come sailing along the sea. :| - 2. O what is the matter, my daughter, Jane? - That you do look so wan? - I fear you have had some ill sickness, - |: Or been courting with some young man. :| - - 3. O no! I've not had an ill sickness, - Nor been courting with any young man, - But I have been sick, and sick to my heart, - |: Since you've been so long at sea. :|

 
 

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
