The Singing Tradition of Child's Popular Ballads Author: Bertrand Harris Bronson

ISBN: 9780691616629 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 578 Published: 21 February 2015 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 28.0 x 21.6 x 3.0 Description:

Francis James Child's English and Scottish Popular Ballads, published in ten parts from 1882 to 1898, contained the texts and variants of 305 extant themes written down between the thirteenth and nineteenth centuries. Unsurpassed in its presentation of texts, this exhaustive collection devoted little attention to the ballad music, a want that was filled by Bertrand Harris Bronson in his four volumeTraditional Tunes of the Child Ballads.

The present book is an abridged, one-volume edition of that work, setting forth music and text for proven examples of oral tradition, with a new comprehensive introduction. Its convenient format makes readily available to students and scholars the materials for a study of the Child ballads as they have been preserved in the British-American singing tradition.
