Simon & Garfunkel - Scarborough Fair/Canticle


Playing Next: Te Atua (Whanau)
Random Page  /  Random Song


The arrangement made famous by Simon & Garfunkel's \"Scarborough Fair/Canticle\" originated in the mid-20th century. Paul Simon learned it in 1965 in London from Martin Carthy. Then Art Garfunkel set it in counterpoint with \"Canticle\", a reworking of Simon's 1963 song \"The Side of a Hill\" with new, anti-war lyrics. It was the lead track of the 1966 album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme, and was released as a single after being featured on the soundtrack to The Graduate in 1968. The copyright credited only Simon and Garfunkel as the authors, causing ill-feeling on the part of Carthy, who felt the \"traditional\" source should have been credited. This rift remained until Simon invited Carthy to duet the song with him at a London concert in 2000.
