Many of the great classical composers have drawn on folk tunes for inspiration for their symphonies and other great works. Similarly, the lyrics of folk songs provide a history of love, hate, politics and social change from the earliest days to the present. Hear is just one example:- "Died For Love - - A bold young farmer courted me - He gained my heart and my liberty - He gained my heart with a free good will - And I must confess that I love him still. - 2. I wish, I wish, but it's all in vain - I wish I was a maid again - But a maid again, that never can be - Since that young farmer lay still with me. - - 3. I wish my baby little was born - And smiling on his daddy's knee - And I poor girl was in my grave - With the long green grass a-growing all over me CLICK HERE [About Irish Folk Bands] [Ensembles in Great Malvern wedding music repertoire] [About Great Malvern] [About music in Great Malvern] [About Wedding Venues] [About Wedding Ceremonies registrars, ministers and music] [About other kinds of music such as jazz or folk] [Frequently Asked Questions FAQs] [Ensembles1] [Ensembles2] [Ensembles3] [Ensembles4] [Links] [Home Page] |
