THE SCOTTISH BALLAD

on Network Three

A recital by C. R. M. BROOKES
† Introduced by GEORGE BRUCE
The current interest in ballads is concerned mainly with the sung. as opposed to the spoken, form. Mr. Brookes is a speaker of ba1-lads who combines a traditional acquaintance with ballads-he learned many from his mother-with a literary interest. His performance relates to the sung ballad, where he carries his tonal response to the point of chant. This he does without denying himself the expressive character of the spoken word.
