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 collecting and editing old French folk songs, often furnishing them with accompaniments, charmingly suited to the airs ; he has done more than any other French musician in rescuing from oblivion tunes which were in danger of being lost.
