A folk song is often a story

The New-Mown Hay - - As I walked forth one summer's morn, - Hard by a river's side, - Where yellow cowslips did adorn - The blushing field with pride; - I spied a damsel on the grass, - More blooming than the may; - Her looks the Queen of Love surpassed, - Among the new-mown hay. - 2. I said, Good morning, pretty maid, - How came you here so soon? - To keep my father's sheep, she said, - The thing that must be done: - While they are feeding 'mong the dew, - To pass the time away, - I sit me down to knit or sew, - Among the new-mown hay.

Irish Folk Bands - Quotations.

Quotations about irish folk bands and their instruments crop up throughout literature. Here are some quotations:-

Folksongs must be dressed to be taken from the fields to the city. In urban attire, however, they are awkward and uncomfortable. Their apparel must be cut in a fashion that will not hinder their breathing. Whether for chorus or for piano, the accompaniment should always be of such a nature as to make up for the lost fields and village. ~ Zoltãn Kodãlv
