Popular Songs and Folk Songs

Dover's selection of music scores and books ranges far beyond great works from the classical genre: we publish popular scores and songbooks of jazz, ragtime, carols, Irish songs, and more. Folk songbooks for piano, guitar, and other instruments include English, Russian, and Irish classics,early American and Civil War tunes, Christmas carols, Old New England ballads, and more. You'll find collections of Beale Street and W. C. Handy blues, movie pieces from Tin Pan Alley, spirituals by the Jubilee Singers of the Fisk University chorus, novelty masterpieces of the Gershwin Era, protest and work songs, and other works.
