British Folk Songs and Singers
Brian Peters

In this class you can delve into songs of particular genres within English music (maritime songs, land-based work songs, lyrical songs, etc.) and hear traditional singing styles using source recordings of British singers provided by Brian.  He will also explore some of the wonderful alternative versions of well-known traditional songs to be found in various non-mainstream collections.   Attention will also be given to techniques of interpretation of this material, whether accompanied or unaccompanied. There will also be plenty of good choruses and opportunities to sing!
