Item number 1702052JE, 536 pages, $27.95

If you are looking for the ultimate collection of over 1,000 folksongs, here it is. This is the perfect folio for performers, school teachers, and hobbyists. This book includes a huge variety of songs spanning hundreds of years, originating from America, England, Canada, Britain, Scotland, Ireland, and other countries. It includes all styles of folk music, including spirituals, cowboy songs, sea chanteys, work songs, children's songs, love ballads, protest songs, and more. This collection features the original version of each tune, and all known verses with the main melody written in standard notation with chords and all lyrics. This book is presented here in a "fake book" format, and features a comb binding so it will stay open on your music stand or piano.
 
A fake book contains the melody line along with lyrics and chord symbols. It is ideal for a pianist that wants to "fake" the left hand part (a fake book does not contain the left hand piano part - it has only the melody), or for anyone that plays a C instrument such as flute, violin, harmonica, or recorder.
