I'm reviewing this more just to say what's in it rather than to say what I think of it. I'll just mention that there is a LOT of space on the pages in the book, which means a larger-looking book, but a lot of page-turns.The descriptions of the songs (e.g. English Folk Song) are taken from the book. The ranges I eyeballed, so I might have made a mistake or two, but you get the general idea. All of the songs are arranged by Jay Althouse.1. Flow Gently, Sweet Afton (Burns/Spilman) Range: e-flat' to f''2. Scarborough Fair (English Folk Song) Range: c' to e''3. Annie Laurie (Douglas/Scott) Range: d-flat' to f'' (The words were written to be sung by a man.)4. The Ash Grove (Oxenford/Welsh Folk Melody) Range: d-flat' to f''5. Danny Boy (Weatherly/Old Irish Air) Range: b-flat to f''6. Skye Boat Song (Stevenson/Scottish Folk Song) Range: e-flat' to e-flat'' (The words were written to be sung by a man.)7. Greensleeves (English Folk Song) Range: d' to f'' (The words were written to be sung by a man.)8. The Snow Lay on the Ground (Irish Carol) Range: d' to e-flat''9. God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen (English Carol) Range: d' to f'' This song is pretty heavily arranged. It goes verse 1, verse 2, playing around with the first half of verse 1, change keys from G to A-flat, repeat verse 1 again, and it ends on a 12-beat high F.10. The Water is Wide (Folk Song of Scottish or English Origin) Range: d' to e''11. The Blaydon Races (Ridley) Range: d' to d'' (Includes a page of background info on this song.)
