WHEN is a ballad not a ballad?' Bertrand Bronson asks at the outset of his monumental four-volume edition of The Traditional Tunes of the Child Ballads,1 and he answers his own question quite categorically 'When it has no tune.' For someone who spent a lifetime of scholarship on the inter-dependence of ballad texts and tunes, this is the only answer to give, and his insistence that we must pay at least as much attention to the tunes as to the texts of the traditional ballads in order to do them justice and understand them fully as a genre, has been one of the most salutory contributions to ballad research in the last few decades
