this came up on my phone playlist on my bus ride to work just now, and I was reminded how it may be one of the best cimbalom recordings of all time.

by Toni Iordache (1942–88), still considered by many (esp. Romanians) to be the best cimbalom player in history. IMO this is one of his best recordings, showing off his command of folk aesthetics, modern music, extended techniques, tenderness and intensity.

Why weep ye by the tide, ladie?
Why weep ye by the tide?
I’ll wed ye to my youngest son,
And ye sall be his bride…

📢#OutNow in #OA: '#CheapPrint and #StreetLiterature of the #LongEighteenthCentury', edited by David Atkinson and Steve Roud.

This deeply researched collection offers a comprehensive introduction to the #eighteenthcentury trade in #streetliterature – #ballads, #chapbooks, and #popularprints – in England and Scotland.

Offering detailed studies of a selection of the printers, types of publication, and places of publication that constituted the cheap and popular print trade during the period, these essays delve into #ballads, #slipsongs, #storybooks, pictures, and more to push back against neat divisions between low and high culture, or popular and high #literature.

It will be of great value to scholars and students of eighteenth-century #popularculture and #literature, #print #history and the #booktrade, #ballad and #folk studies, children’s literature, and #socialhistory.

This #OpenAccess title is avalable at openbookpublishers.com/books/1

Two anonymous 17th Century ballads describing the purported evil deeds of Richard III, the murder of the Princes in the Tower, and the Battle of Bosworth Field, which was fought #onthisday in 1485.
A good example of Tudor propaganda.

A song of the Life and Death of King Richard the Third (to the tune of Who list to lead a soldier's life)
and
The most cruel murther of Edward the fifth, and his brother Duke of York, in the Tower; by their Uncle Richard Duke of Gloucester (to the tune of Fortune my foe)
From Richard Johnson's ballad miscellany, The Golden Garland of Princely Delights, 1620
