These 13 folk songs are designed for female choirs and treble voices of all ages, who enjoy re-capturing the spirit and beauty of these traditional melodies from Britain and Ireland, and are a must" for those looking for new, but traditional repertoire. They are set in two and three vocal parts and are in a range of difficulty from easy to advanced. As a result, there are many within the 13 that are within reach of most choirs who enjoy working without any instrumental accompaniment, in the tradition of folk songs. However, chord symbols have been added to every one of these skillful arrangements in order to cater for those choirs who enjoy some improvised instrumental support by guitar or piano in performance.
