 Edward D. (Sandy) Ives, The Bonny Earl of Murray: The Man, the Murder, the Ballad
Professor Ives shows how the ballad, now known as "The Bonny Earl of Murray", with its especially haunting final image of a lady waiting at a window for the return of her murdered lover, has kept Murray's story alive for four centuries.
Ives also contends that the ballad's storyline, even as it breaks from the historical account, tells a "true" story that lives on in public imagination.
If you are somewhat unsure of exactly what a ballad is, but you think you like them, this book is for you.

 Sir Arnold Bax
Bax’s response to the events of the Easter Uprising of 1916 was titled ’Dublin Ballad’, while his poem ‘The Battle of the Somme’ (“War was red hell”) s written in a manner redolent of the most poignant of the war poets, Wilfred Owen.
Bax wrote that he “instantly developed an ice-cold antipathy to Schonberg and his whole musical system” after he heard this early attempt at the atonal sound that Schonberg essentially ‘discovered.’ For Bax there was “little probability” that the 12-note scale developed by Schonberg “will produce anything more than morbid and entirely cerebral growths.
Arnold Bax presented a portrait of himself as part of a BBC radio broadcast series entitled ‘British Composers.’ It is disarmingly honest and self-effacing.

Notes: Jane Shore, the wife of a goldsmith, seems to have been the last great love of Edward IV's life (though Edward IV was truly prodigal with his energies).
It is not likely that this or any other Jane Shore ballad went into tradition, but there seem to have been enough of them that they deserve an entry here.
She had come to the attention of Edward IV, who loved her long but died young.

 Danny Boy--the Mystery solved!
The most prolific poet of the Edwardian—and for that matter Victorian and Georgian—ballad, the genial and indefatiguable Fred E. (Frederick Edward) Weatherly (1848-1929) was virtually a one-man song factory.
The author was an English lawyer, Frederic Edward Weatherly (1848-1929), who was also a songwriter and radio entertainer.
His most commercially successful ballad was 'Roses of Picardy' which became one of the great popular songs of the Great War, and it made its writer a small fortune.
