Description
Lyver Canow Kernewek, the Cornish Song Book, was edited by Dr Ralph Dunstan and published in 1929. It was the first of its kind and more than eighty years after publication continues to be a magical inspiration for those interested in Cornish music. It also has a degree of internal tension which is reflected in the sometimes strange inclusions and even stranger exclusions. This internal battleground provides a glimpse of the different ideologies of the contributors and of the Cornish organisations of the time.
