Ballads offer one of the most fascinating and revealing records of
humankind-their deepest feelings and most profound experiences,
their laughter and joys, their troubles and sorrows. There is no
battle, no romance, no escapade, no tragedy recorded in song which
is not rich both in historical significance and in contemporary
experience. A ballad is a link with past generations, traditions,
and the basic character traits of a people, a region, or a country.
The associations formed, the recollections stirred make the study
of this form of music a rewarding experience. Ancient Ballads
Traditionally Sung in New England is complied an edited from the
Helen Harness Flanders Ballad Collection at Middlebury College. The
texts of the ballads are printed and their tunes set exactly as the
singers gave then in the original form, with succinct and accurate
notes to reach. This rich collection contains nearly all the
traditional ballads of America, many of them in multiple versions.
Volume III contains Child ballads 95-243 from the numbered Francis
James Child Collection.
