Song, in its many forms, surrounds us - and may have been a feature of life since the very beginnings of human history. It is practiced in every society in the world, its importance undiminished in modern times. The tracks on this album focus on English Folk singing, the traditions behind the songs, and the stories behind the traditions. Performances from folk singer Norma Waterson complete the fascinating journey through English folk heritage. This material is drawn from the Open University course AA317 Words and music.

Norma Waterson - Movin' On Song
Yorkshire-born folk singer Norma Waterson explains the importance of folk music as oral history, then performs the "Movin' On Song", penned by Peggy Seeger and Ewan McColl. The lyrics empathise with the millions of people in history who were displaced, unwanted and thus told to "move... shift", such as gypsies, itinerant workers and the homeless.
