Extensively researched, Chantez Encore will appeal to musicians, singers, and folklorists, as well as to teachers and students, who will learn French more easily through song.

They range from one end of the spectrum to the other, and include “The Rebel Soldier,” “The Yellow Rose of Texas,” and “The Sheffield Apprentice.” Paperback.
Scottish Songs is a collection of 44 traditional compositions arranged for voice and piano, providing the full lyrics and music from the rousing Jacobite song “Charlie my Darling” to the sad lament of “Loch Lomond.” Hardcover.
