Voice and Piano-Until the advent of the great lieder writers of Germany England had a heritage of song reckoned to be the richest in Europe. Much of this material has disappeared however this book aims to present some of the best-known folk- and art- songs of 1250-1700. Reliquary Of English Song - Volume 1 is a fantastic collection of over 50 traditional English songs and tunes that also includes a wealth of text illustrations diagrams and notes that help to explain the collection and examples and to fill the gaps in the history. A excellant research resource or simply as a rare repertory.
