At a time when we are going farther and farther afield in the quest for new musical experiences, it is good to know that a source of popular music existed in England that sufficed to beguile every phase of life, to enrich the experience of serious composers through whom it influenced all of Europe, and that even today many of the tunes at the top of the Hit Parade are heavily indebted to it.

"a beautifully plaintive, soft-grained recital" (Gramophone)

Tracks:

anon.:
The three ravens
Black is the colour of my true love's hair
The oak and the ash
Lord Rendall
The tailor and the mouse
I will give my love an apple
Bushes and briars
She moved through the fair
Evening Prayer
Jones, Robert:
Sweet Kate

Morley:
Sweet nymph, come to thy lover
I go before my darling
Miraculous Love's wounding

trad.:
Barbara Allen
O Waly, Waly ('The Water is Wide')
Down by the Salley Gardens
The Foggy, Foggy Dew
