Folk Song in England

In Victorian times, England was famously dubbed the land without music - but one of the great musical discoveries of the early twentieth century was that England had a vital heritage of folk song and music which was easily good enough to stand comparison with those of other parts of Britain and overseas.

In epoca victoriana, Anglia a fost numita in mod renumit tara fara muzica - dar una dintre marile descoperiri muzicale de la inceputul secolului al XX-lea a fost aceea ca Anglia avea o mostenire vitala a cantecului si a muzicii populare, care era suficient de buna pentru a sta in comparatie cu cele din alte parti din Marea Britanie si peste mari.
