Songs from the Baring-Gould Manuscripts
I am keen to make an increasing number of songs from the Baring-Gould manuscripts available to those who wish to sing them. Having looked at a few alternatives I have settled on doing this using PDF files (for which you need a programme such as Acrobat Reader - see below). This will give you a clearer image that can be printed out easily. I am now starting to add midi files alongside the PDF files so that you can hear the tune as well.
Please feel free to use these songs for personal research and performance - appropriate acknowledgement of the source and, particularly, the singers should, of course, be given. If you wish to use the songs for publication or recording you should contact me for advice.
The songs currently available are:
Come All You Worthy Christian Men
(Collected With Cecil Sharp)
I'm A Man That's Done Wrong To His Parents
If you do not have Acrobat Reader click on the icon below - if you have not used it
before it is a safe (and free!) program that you will find useful as you travel the Internet.
