The ''Arnold Book of Old Songs'' is a collection of English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh and French folk songs and traditional songs, with new piano accompaniments by Roger Quilter. Quilter dedicated it to and named it after his nephew Arnold Guy Vivian, who perished at the hands of German forces in Italy in 1943. It consists of sixteen songs: five songs were written in 1921, and another eleven were written in 1942. Only the latter eleven were written with Vivian in mind at the outset. ==Songs written in 1921== Five of the songs were written in 1921,〔(Music Web International, Roger Quilter (1877-1953): Complete Folk-Song Arrangements and Complete Part-Songs for Women's Voices )〕 with each being dedicated to a friend, relative or popular singer of the day. These were: * "Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes": dedicated to the baritone Arthur Frith〔 * "Over the Mountains" * "Barbara Allen": dedicated to the Irish baritone Frederick Ranalow〔(Langfield, p. 202 )〕 * "Three Poor Mariners": dedicated to Guy Vivian (Arnold Vivian's father and Roger Quilter's brother-in-law)〔 * "The Jolly Miller": dedicated to Joseph Farrington.〔〔(Naxos Direct )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arnold Book of Old Songs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
