Additional info/contents	England can look back on a long folk song tradition. Composers such as Cecil Sharp and Vaughan Williams revived interest in this heritage at the beginning of the 20th century by collecting numerous songs and notating some of them for the first time. Philip Sparke chose three songs from the 18th and 19th centuries for his three folk song miniatures: the fishing song Dance to Your Daddy, the love song O Waly, Waly and Bobby Shafto, a song from the north-west of England.
