srich Origins/lyrics: Queen Among the Heather (35) RE: Origins/lyrics: Queen Among the Heather 28 Nov 09


Joe:

Sorry about the confusion. The first statement was mine when I said a beautiful love song from Belle Stewart. Just my humble opinion. The second one is what is stated in the notes on the songs.It stated "A beautiful love song from the singing of Belle Stewart." I assume that the editor or transcriber heard her sing the lyrics given. I can easily see where faured is picked up as faurt which is what is in the music that prompted my initial question.

I have never heard Belle Stewart sing so it would be a treat for me to hear her. But as to the book that it came out of. I will tell you that it is one of the best folksong books I have seen in some time. I rank it right up there with the Newport Folk Festival book. It is a different genre of course, but it has some really nice songs in it.

I will have to look up "My Lovely Nancy," thanks for the point on that song.

Will be glad to post a listing of the songs if there is interest.
