Music held to be typical of a nation or ethnic group, known to all segments of its society, and preserved usually by oral tradition. Knowledge of the history and development of folk music is largely conjectural.
 for lay readers, casual singers and guitar players, and professional musicians alike. Both have fifty pieces of music and everything needed to play and sing them: lyrics, guitar chords, a simplified music score, and a CD featuring the first verse and chorus of each ballad. 50 Great Irish Fighting Songs (0953206874, $15.95) includes grand ballads such as "Arthur McBride", "A Nation Once Again", "The Scarriff Martyrs", and "Whiskey in the Jar", while 50 Great Irish Drinking Songs (095320684X, $15.95) includes such boisterous carouses as "All for me Grog", "Fiddlers Green", "Old Maid in the Garret", and "Whiskey You're the Devil". Both collections have introductions and notes on the history of each song, as well as color photographs of Ireland. 50 Great Irish Fighting Songs and 50 Great Irish Drinking Songs are unquestionably un·ques·tion·a·ble  
adj.
