Sparingly accompanied by Renaissance flute, piccolo and a guitar, these traditionals, and the descriptions that accompany them, are a charming introduction to the musical history of Britain. The famous 'Danny Boy,' (a cappella) somehow manages to summarize the grace and suffering of the Irish experience in its earnest melody; likewise, 'Loch Lomond,' (Scottish, also a cappella) brings the rough yet delicate beauty of Scotland to life. Several nineteenth century parlor songs are also included, such as 'Home Sweet Home' and 'Golden Slumbers.' Also, the familiar 'Scarborough Fair,' 'Greensleeves' and 'What Shall We Do With A Drunken Sailor?'
