Ballads and lyrics

In an age of dizzying change, there have been few constants. One is the preservation of the art of song--and in that, Katharine Tynan has been a steadfast champion. In her book "Ballads and Lyrics," she shares her vast knowledge and deep love of music with us--learning to sing, how to compose a song, and some secrets about singing teachers. The result is a delightful romp through the world of music--a place where she's been happily lost for many years! Also this book is an exploration of the relationships between the passage of time, identity, music, family, and love.The work is filled with humor, charm, and wit.
