This is the first published edition of the full Harris sisters’ ballad collection, an important source for the Scottish song tradition
The sources of the songs and ballads collected by the two women can be traced to locations including Fearn, Tibbermore, Blairgowrie, Dron and Brechin, and the collection features fascinating versions of ballads such as “Johnnie Armstrong” and “Tod Lowrie”. The original music is reproduced, along with modern notation, and the volume supplies much commentary material, background and history along with detailed musical analysis of the fifty-nine ballads and songs presented. It will provide academics, singers and lovers of ballads with a valuable body of songs and ballads from Perthshire and Angus.
