Heigh! Nonny! Nonny!

This website promises the visitor a "cornucopia of information on approximately 6000 song cycles, sets, albums, collections and individual songs, representing a body of song literature from the end of the 16th Century to the present." And man alive, does it deliver! I've always been fascinated by the world of British song, from the delightful lyrics of Robert Burns to the beautiful songs that grace Shakespeare's plays. This database brings them all home to me. I can search in any number of ways, from composer to featured instrument--even by tempo, key, or meter! There's also a catch-all search field that lets me narrow my search by arranger or song duration. So whether you're a music teacher, a recital/concert programmer, or just a lover of British music, a quick stop here will help you find whatever you need. Priceless!
