Excerpt from Twelve Elizabethan Songs, 1601-1610It is not always easy to retain the grace and delicacy of these old songs, and at the same time to guard them from sounding slight, or inadequate, under modern conditions, but it is perhaps better to sacrifice some efi'eé't, rather than in any way interfere with their quaint manner of expression - since much of the charm must surely remain, where music is as essentially pure as was that of the Elizabethans.The objet'l of this edition will have been reached, if any who feel the singular fascination of English music of this date, are thereby tempted to explore still farther into those Song Books, whose wealth of beaut here of necessity but sparingly represented, has rendered a discreet choice no lig t matter.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
