of Old and Modern French Songs by MIRIAM LICETTE (Soprano)
THE name of Weckerlin appears frequently on programmes as having ' arranged ' old French songs. In his case, as in a good many, the word ' arranged' covers a great deal of enthusiastic work. He spent many years in the collection and editing of old French folk songs, often furnishing them with accompaniments charmingly suited to the airs; ho has done more than any other French musician in rescuing from oblivion, tunes which were in danger of being lost.
