- 曲目解説1ページに「The first selection, a ballad entitled Lady Margaret, could be classified as a love song, although its premise is a rather morbid one. Its origins date back to the late 17th century in Britain. One version, called Fair Margaret and Sweet William was cataloged by Francis J. Child in his anthology of ballads. (Child Ballad #74.)」「The ballad tradition was imported to America by immigrants from the British Isles, and remained virtually intact until recent years, due to the relative inaccessibility of the mountainous regions in which these immigrants settled. The singer of this ballad, Almeda Riddle, is a native of the state of Arkansas. Born in 1898, she learned literally hundreds of ballads and folk songs at her father's knee, and is sought after today by folklorists and collectors because of her extensive repertoire of these songs. This recording of Lady Margaret was made in 1976 at the 14th Annual Arkansas Folk Festival.」「1)」「LADY MARGARET[下線付]」「Sung by Almeda Riddle」「Acapella--unaccompanied vocal」「(English transcription follows on page. 2)」と記載(「[Lady Margaretに]下線」「[premiseに]丸囲み[と]前提」「[morbidに]丸囲み[と]病的な」「[Fair Margaret and Sweet Williamに]下線」「[Francis J.
