46 Folk Songs for the Bowed Psaltery

One of the things I did to pay my way through college was to entertain at coffee houses, playing the guitar and singing folk songs. Many of the songs in the collection are old favorites that were in my repertoire. While I sang a lot of songs from the English-speaking countries, I especially loved finding tunes from other countries. Many those songs have found their way into this book. Then, when I finally put the book together with 45 songs, there was a space left over just big enough to add one more song. So, I did! The songs are arranged as solos, duets, and rounds. As well as notes for the psaltery, lyrics and guitar chords are included for many of the tunes. This collection includes: Anile Anile Vaa Vaa Vaa, Avenging and Bright, Ba Huangshan Biachen Fu, The Blackest Crow, Blow Away the Morning Dew, Bottom of the Punchbowl, Branle de Bourgogne, Ciocarlanul - The Lark, Come All Fair & Tender Maidens, Come Dance and Sing, Corcorans Cross, Early One Morning, Flowers of Edinburgh, For Ireland I’ll not Tell Her NameFour Marys, The Gentle Maiden, The Great Silky of Sule Skerry, Green Broom, Hatikvah - The Hope, The House Carpenter, How Can I Keep from Singing?, Huron Carol - ‘Twas in the Midst of Wintertide, Jasmine Flower, Jubilate Deo Omnis, Kathleen O'Moore, Korobeiniki, Land of Our Fathers, Lord Thomas of Winesberry, Mairi’s Wedding, Mallibrok, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, The Minstrel Boy, Mo Ghile Mear, Mo Li Hua - Jasmine Flower, Moscow Nights, Muss I Denn, Never Weather-Beaten Sail, Odzidani - Expectation Waltz, Piri Miri Dictum Domini, Sakura - Cherry Blossoms, Sara Sara, Three Ravens, Water is Wide, Whistling Gypsy, Yslwffyl - The Doorknocker, Yuki - Snow Song.
