I had good luck some time ago with some threads I started on German folk songs and outlaw/robber songs in languages other than English, so I feel inspired to start another one. I have a particular fondness for songs with a supernatural, or at least weird or unsettling, feel, e.g. Pretty Susy, Wife of Usher's Well, Loving Henry, Lord Randall, Twa Corbies, etc. I would like to learn more about similar songs in other languages, and particularly about any good recordings. French and German are the languages I can sing without too much difficulty, but the field is open.

Thank you, class. You may begin.
