A Revels Garland of Song

The word "carol" was not originally Christmas-specific. It described any song meant for dancing, usually for seasonal celebrations including midwinter, harvest, planting, sheep-shearing, and summer solstice. John Langstaff shows you how to keep the Revels spirit alive all year round with this beautifully illustrated collection of carols for spring, summer, and fall, along with folk favorites, processionals, and singalongs. The 54 selections include The Wild Mountain Thyme, The Padstow May Song, Sheep-Shearing Song, The Barley Mow, John Barleycorn and more.
