book' of Canadian ballads by John Murray Gibbon and published by the Ryrrsoo Press, Toronto
Singing of
Canada -- sixty
new songs of
Canada have
come to life
over the past
Pew months
and now they
are give.a to
the world In
John Murray
Gibbon's new-
est book "New
World Bal-
lads" 'Which
bas just come
from the Ayer -
son Press, Toronto. It is a most
attractive little book, beautifully
Brinted and illustrated and for
oath ballad there is a pleat+ant
singable old trine that Mr; Gibbon
has dug from somewhere out of
tho past.
The songs are gathered into ten
groups which, in a general way,
Cover different periods of Cana-
dian history such as "The Pion-
eers". and "Settlement & Indepen-
dence", while others sing of moun-
tains, rivers and prairies =. Then
too, there are ballads of the canoe,
of the trail and of the seasons --
in
in short it is a very comprehen-
sive book of Canadian song which
should meet with a hearty wel-
come from Canadians everywhere.
The tunes selected and printed
With the ballads are lovely old
meledies which have been brought
to Canada by settlers from the
British Isles and from Europe.
Some of these are dance tunes,
some are tunes of which the
words aro no longer generally
known Or which belong to a but-
guage that is not English. Mr,
Gibbon has written the ballads
especially for these tunes.
The wrttieg of ballads to fit old
and Well loved tunes dates from
the time of Shakespeare. When
Queen Elizabeth came to the
throne . of England in 3558, the
balladmonger sang at the fair, the
words of broadsheets which he
sold for a penny. Shakespeare
knew them, and in the snatches
of song in "Hamlet", "The Merry
Wives of Windsor" and "A. 'Win-
ter's Talo" revealed how much he
owed to the 'ballad singers. Up
to the time of Oliver Cromwell,
lyric pootry was not yet consider-
ed as something apart from music,
so we find :Christopher Marlowe,
Ben Jonson, George Wither, Jobe.
Donne and Hobert Herrick, all
great poets, still waiting verses to
old tunes, Later Sohn Gay took
tunes from France es well as
England, and we find succeeding
poets, including Berns, Scott,
Stevenson and Moore writing bal-
lads based on a tune.
New World Ballads Is an ideal
collection of songs to make the
music hear a memorable one in
schools and camps 55 Well es in
homes.
