INFO: : La selezione di canti della tradizione popolare nordamericana che presentiamo è tratta da un immenso repertorio venutosi a formare nel corso dei secoli attraverso più fonti e culture. La raccolta comprende ballate di origine europea, canti dei pionieri e della gente di mare, canzoni della guerra civile, dei fuorilegge e dei vagabondi, accanto ad altri motivi più tradizionali e popolari. Un particolare spazio è riservato ai canti dei cow-boys, alle canzoni di S.C. Foster e ai Negro-spirituals. La trascrizione musicale della linea melodica, nelle tonalità più semplici e con le sigle degli accordi d’accompagnamento, permette una facile e soddisfacente esecuzione con ogni strumento.
