User:TwilligToves/Street cries
Street cries are the short lyrical calls of merchants hawking their products and services in open-air markets. The custom of hawking led many vendors to create custom melodic phrases. Many of these street cries were cataloged in large collections or incorporated into larger musical works, preserving them from oblivion.
