Folk Songs for Choirs, Book 2
Among the 13 a cappella songs are favorites such as Vaughn Williams' arrangement of "Turtle Dove" and Holst's "I love my love." There are also three "fair" tunes: "Brigg Fair," "Strawberry Fair" and "Yarmouth Fair." We're also partial to "The Oak and the Ash." The very readable scores will be appreciated by your singers.
