Country Dance Bands - Quotations.      

A sample of what has been written about country dance bands. A Quotation:-

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
