Alice Parker's Hand-Me-Down Ballads
Edited by James Heiks
Item #:
G-9056
Price:
$6.00
This anthology provides a concise collection of ballads that have been passed down from generation to generation of American folk singers. A worthy successor to Alice Parker’s Hand-Me-Down Songs, these ballads are heartfelt classics that evoke love, excitement, longing— and downright silliness.
As Alice Parker states in her preface, “Songs are memory carriers. Those you learn while young will be with you all of your life, as our elders constantly remind us. True folk songs— that is, those for which we know no composer or poet— are maps of human experience. Share these songs with children of all ages and watch them come alive with delight.” Book, 56 pages.Contents Include: Aweigh, Santy Ano - Barbara Allen - Bill Grogan's Goat - Casey Jones - Cinty - Dona Nobis Pacem - Down in the Valley - Gum Tree Canoe "Tombigbee River" - Don Gato - Hey, Ho!
