Border ballad

De l'anglais, littéralement "ballades de frontière", il s'agit ici de la frontière qui sépare l'Angleterre de l'Écosse.
Cette frontière a une longue histoire de sang, de conquête et reconquête, attaque et contre-attaque (voir Guerres d'indépendance de l'Écosse). Il a aussi une tradition ancestrale de composition de ballades, tel qu'un groupe entier de chansons existe sous l'appellation de "les ballades de frontière", parce qu'elles ont été recueillies dans cette région.
Les ballades de frontière, comme toutes les ballades traditionnelles, ont été traditionnellement chantées a capella. Il peut y avoir un motif se répétant, mais il n'y a aucun "chœur" comme dans la plupart des chansons pop. Le surnaturel est un thème commun dans les ballades de Frontière, tout comme les récit d'attaques et de batailles.
Exemples: Thomas le Rhymer (aka "True Thomas", Thomas of Erceldoune") qui s'ouvre dans la ville écossaise d'Erceldoune (aujourd'hui en Earlston, Berwickshire) et Tam Lin très réputée ou Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border par Sir Walter Scott.
