This is one of a series of posts about books used as source material for Art Song Central.
Book Title: One Hundred Songs of England (low voice)
Editor: Granville Bantock (1868-1946)
Publisher: Oliver Ditson Company
Copyright: 1914
I’ve scanned the low voice version, and will post it soon. The high voice edition is available on Google Books.
There is an extensive text preceding the printed music with detailed notes on each song. I may at some point transcribe that and place it here.
