Composed by Roger Quilter. Arranged by Ray Thompson. This edition: pdf. 20th Century, Folk. 9 pages. RayThompsonMusic #1159755. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1588446).Roger Cuthbert Quilter (1 November 1877 – 21 September 1953) was a British composer, known particularly for his art songs. His songs, which number over a hundred, often set music to text by William Shakespeare and are a mainstay of the English art song tradition.
The Arnold Book of Old Songs is a collection of English, Scottish, Irish, Welsh and French folk songs and traditional songs, with new piano accompaniments by Roger Quilter. Quilter dedicated it to and named it after his nephew Arnold Guy Vivian, who perished at the hands of German forces in Italy in 1943.
The collection consists of sixteen songs: five songs were written in 1921, and another eleven were written in 1942. Only the latter eleven were written with Vivian in mind at the outset.
Five of the songs were written in 1921 with each being dedicated to a friend, relative or popular singer of the day. The first one was
"Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes": dedicated to the baritone Arthur Frith
