Riturnu: The Poison Serpent - 3 scores. Contributors: Clark. Recorder Trios (SSA). Publisher's category: Recorder Trios.

What is said to be America s first native folk ballad is about one Timothy Myrick of Springfield, Massachusetts who died of a rattlesnake bite on August 7th, 1761. The ballad, arranged here by Paul Clark, was itself serious but soon got transformed into a comic music-hall song, in which form it rapidly spread across the nation on the wings of this jaunty little tune.
