Extract

When the Council of the Musical Association were kind enough to invite me to address you this afternoon on the subject of Basque and Portuguese folk-music, I was at first in some doubt how best to present my material. I have already given a general account of Basque music in my Book of the Basques and of Portuguese music in two articles in Music and Letters. It occurred to me, therefore, that it might be better to approach the subject from some angle of general interest to musicians and to discuss the light which the folksongs of these two peoples throw on the general (and I must confess somewhat contentious) question of the origin and development of folk-song.
