The songs sung by many folk groups tell a story

Death and the Lady - - As I walked out one morning in May - The birds did sing and the lambs did play - The birds did sing and the lambs did play - I met an old man, I met an old man - I met an old man by the way. - 2. His head was bald, his beard was grey - His coat was of a myrtle shade - I asked him what strange countryman - Or what strange place, or what strange place - Or what strange place he did belong. - - 3. "My name is Death, cannot you see? - Lords, dukes, and ladies bow down to me - And you are one of those branches three - And you fair maid, and you fair maid, - And you fair maid must come with me".

Quotations 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
