Folk groups - song lyrics

The Golden Glove - - A wealthy young squire of Tamworth, we hear, - He courted a nobleman's daughter so fair; - And for to marry her it was his intent, - All friends and relations gave their consent. - 2. The time was appointed for the wedding-day, - A young farmer chosen to give her away; - As soon as the farmer the young lady did spy, - He inflamed her heart; O, my heart! she did cry. - - 3. She turned from the squire, but nothing she said, - Instead of being married she took to her bed; - The thought of the farmer soon run in her mind, - A way for to have him she quickly did find. - - 4. Coat, waistcoat, and breeches she then did put on, - And a hunting she went with her dog and her gun; - She hunted all round where the farmer did dwell, - Because in her heart she did love him full well:

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
