Classic American Folk Music, Volume 2 [Alf:00-EL9699]

A collection of 104 folk songs (in two volumes) considered the common cultural heritage of American folk music. Each song includes annotations with country of origin and historical significance. Lyrics are included, sometimes with more than one set. Arrangements are progressive, ranging from very easy (with optional accompaniment) to advanced by the end of the second volume and are appropriate to the character of each piece. This set of books will provide a valuable resource for historians, music teachers and students.
