Barley Break - An Elizabethan Songbook with Arrangements for the Appalachian Dulcimer
Lorraine Lee Hammond

"The sweet sound of the Appalachian dulcimer lends itself with good grace to the music of the Elizabethan era," says Lorraine in her introduction to this truly distinctive songbook. Originally published in 1977 and now back in print, this new, expanded edition of Barely Break provides helpful playing instructions for 24 Elizabethan songs - each one accompanied with dulcimer tablature, standard notation, and lyrics. Includes favorites like "Month of Maying," "Hey-Ho, Nobody Home," and "Greensleeves," as well as less familiar musical treasures, all of which will be welcome additions to any repertoire. A classic that any musician will find invaluable.

Promises Worth Keeping - The Songs of Fred Small, Vol. 2
Fred Small

Twenty-eight songs - including words, music, and guitar chords - grace this new songbook by topical singer and songwriter Fred Small. A sequel to Breaking from the Line, Promises Worth Keeping presents songs from the well-received albums Everything Possible, I Will Stand Fast, and Jaguar. "Over the years," Fred writes, "my songs have grown more personal and less facile, less glib. I am less afraid to reveal myself in my writing and performance. I search harder for the fresh unexpected image . . . I venture more often beyond the story-song form to convey a feeling or message . . . But, as ever, my songs are about the things I care most about: community, cooperation, compassion, courage, fairness, simplicity, the earth, peace, and yes, love."
