| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
Intro:ductia (0.58)
An air which Peter picked up somewhere in his travels. The title, you will note, is a pun.
The Barley Straw (2.15)
From the singing of Harry Cox of Norfolk, this is a typical song of rural seduction.
What If a Day (2.13)
The arrangement for Thomas Campion's art song is by Dolly Collins, who should surely be recognised as an excellent English composer, although she is best known to the folk scene as Shirley's sister. (by Thomas Campion, arranged by Dolly Collins)
The Loyal Lover (1.15)
This version is from Lucy Broadwood's collection of West Country songs.
Entracte: Stones in My Passway (1.00)
We thought that everyone would realise that this was a joke, but no, some people actually complained about the scratches. Listen carefully; they revolve at 78 rpm, and come from an old record of military marches.
Idumea (2.07)
An America Sacred Harp hymn.
The Husbandman and the Servingman (1.43)
There is very limited tradition of harmony singing in England: a notable example is the Copper family of Sussex. This song comes from the Cantwell brothers of Oxford.
The Rolling of the Stones (0.54)
This is a fragment of a longer ballad, and was learned from the singing of Oscar Brand.
The Bitter Withy (2.18)
Peter learned this version from Audrey Coppard. It gives a far more believable picture of Jesus Christ than most of the ballads of his childhood.
The Banks of the Nile (2.09)
This is a song that all of us knew, but no specific version was used as the basis for the one recorded here; in fact, much of the arrangement developed as we were in the process of recording it.
Wondrous Love (2.46)
Another Sacred Harp hymn.
Medieval Mystery Tour (2.14)
The mystery is in deciding which of the three tunes is by Bert Jansch and John Renbourn (no prizes).
Divertissement: Upon the Bough (0.30)
This is Heather's musical setting of a short poem by A.P.H. which appeared in Punch. It is supposedly written by a little old lady who is anti-“blood sports”. Listen carefully, and apply your knowledge of natural history.
Ratcliff Highway (1.56)
Pete says that this is a collation (which I always thought was something to eat) of several versions.
The Brisk Young Widow (1.43)
Heather learned this from School Radio - remember Singing Together with William Appleby? Royston, as they say, got it from her.
Interlude: The Pembroke Unique Ensemble (1.01)
Pembroke for Wales (don't ask me why: it meant something at the time), unique because there was only Swarb on multi-tracked fiddle & mandolin (and Sandy Denny very discreetly, way down in the bass register, on piano) and ensemble because it was fairly together. The tune is Soldiers Three.
John Barleycorn (2.24)
From the Cecil Sharp collection. One of the many songs which we picked up by a process of osmosis.
The Agincourt Carol (4.38)
King Henry V was so appalled by the cost in lives of the victory of Agincourt thet he forbade it to be made the subject of song, but the author of this carol was spared because of the quality of his verse. Well, it's a nice story. This song was something of an endurance test for the musicians who played it straight through without a break. David Munrow, on shawm, practically collapsed afterwards.
