While sorting out her attic my sister-in-law came across a lot of family music. Most of it has gone to local choirs etc but one item Herself rescued was one of her childhood pieces. It is the Spring Term 1958 BBC Schools Singing Together and Rhythm & Melody.
It contains:
Bonny blue-eyed sailor (Dunhill/Fyleman)
Water of Tyne (Northumbrian folk song)
Wraggle Taggle Gipsies (English folk song)
Early one morning (English trad.)
Ye Banks and braes (Burns/trad)
Planting Trees (Plannu Coed, Welsh folk song Eng. Words by Imogen Holst)
Wandering Miller (Schubert trans. Miller)
The Keeper (Warwickshire folk song arr.Sharp)
Drummer and the cook (capstan shanty)
Kathleen Tyrell (Irish folk song trans Fiske)
Haul away Joe (foresheet shanty)
Shepherdess (French folk song arr. Whitred)
Shady Grove (Square dance from Kentucky)
Waley Waley (Folk song from Somerset arr Sharp)
Migildi Magildi (Welsh folk song ,Eng words by Dobbs)
Lieutenant Kije (Prokofiev)
Song of Lieutenant Kije (Russian folk tune, words by Whitred)I realise most of these will be familiar to folkies but I can post the words to any that might be of interest. I could also photocopy the music of any of them and post or fax to any one interested, I can't do the music on my work PC.
RtS (I wonder if today's primary (elementary) schools do such a range of folkie music?)
