08 Oct 10 - 04:25 PM (#3002777) Subject: RE: Music for Halloween From: GUEST,ArranBrownButterfly Before people started getting worried about Hallowe'en in primary schools, I remember a song from the early 1960s which our class sang - this was in Edinburgh, by the way, and Hallowe'en never quite disappeared from Scotland, before the American onslaught of recent years. It goes after this fashion: It's Hallowe'en and witches fly, On their broomsticks through the sky, Each is wearing a pointed hat, And each has got a big, black cat. And now it's time to have a feast, Of treacle scones and roasted nuts, Apples for dooking, juicy and red, And turnip lanterns to go to bed. Anybody else remember it? Tune - 6/8 time, minor key. |

25 Oct 10 - 03:24 PM (#3015216) Subject: RE: Music for Halloween From: GUEST,Slag310 There is a list of some traditional songs for Halloween and Samhain. Some are traditional folk ballads and some are in a similar style but by modern composers. It's at pierce.yolasite.com/hallsongs or http://pierce.yolasite.com/hallsongs. I guess you can find it with one of those links. Slag310 |

25 Oct 10 - 06:19 PM (#3015327) Subject: RE: Music for Halloween From: ClaireBear I used to put on my LP of David Bedford's wonderfully strange Instructions for Angels to liven things up for any trick-or-treaters who came tripping up the walk, or else I'd ask someone in to play that Bach toccata and fugue (you know the one) on my pump organ. But that was years ago, when I lived in a small town instead of in the back of beyond. Now, we have coyotes howling, owls whooooing, wind whistling through the trees, bats swooshing, and the disquieting rustle of small night visitors in the underbrush -- no sound system or musical instruments needed. And sadly (though perhaps not so surprisingly), we never get trick-or-treaters...though I always keep a couple of pomegranates handy, just in case. |

26 Oct 10 - 07:32 PM (#3016313) Subject: Lyr Add: WITH HER HEAD TUCKED UNDERNEATH HER ARM From: GUEST,JB - Nobody's Bard Have to be "Ghost Ballads" by Dean Gitter for me. Which incidentally includes "Skin & Bones" & a great version of "The Unquiet Grave" as well as the wonderful "Anne Boleyn" Now in the Tower of London, large as life, The ghost of Anne Boleyn walks, I declare. Now Anne Boleyn was once King Henry's wife, Until he had his headsman bob her hair. Ah yes, he did her wrong long years ago, And back she comes each night to tell him so. With her 'ead tucked underneath her arm, She walks the bloody Tower, With her head tucked underneath her arm, At the midnight hour. Now when she goes to Henry, she for telling him what's for Gadzooks, she's going to tell him off, for spilling of her gore. And just in case the headsman wants to give her an encore, She got her head tucked underneath her arm. With her 'ead tucked underneath her arm, She walks the bloody Tower, With her head tucked underneath her arm, At the midnight hour. Now sometimes gay ol' King Henry throws a spread, For all his pals and gals, a ghastly crew, The 'eadsman carves the joint and cuts the bread, When in walks Anne Boleyn to queer the do. She holds her head up with a wild war whoop, And Henry says "take care! Don't you drop it in the soup!" With her 'ead tucked underneath her arm, She walks the bloody Tower, With her head tucked underneath her arm, At the midnight hour. Now the sentries thinks that Ann is carrying in a rugby ball, When dinners done they push the chairs & tables to the wall, And then they'll choose up sides & kick the queen about the hall With her head tucked underneath her arm . With her 'ead tucked underneath her arm, She walks the bloody Tower, With her head tucked underneath her arm, At the midnight hour. Along the murky corridors for miles & miles she goes She often catches cold for it is cold there when it blows & it's awfuklly awkward for the queen to have to blow her nose With her head tucked underneath her arm . With her 'ead tucked underneath her arm, She walks the bloody Tower, With her head tucked underneath her arm, At the midnight hour. Perfect Halloween fare! |

26 Oct 10 - 08:22 PM (#3016344) Subject: RE: Music for Halloween From: Charley Noble "Anne Boleyn" is certainly one of my personal favorites. A few years ago Judy and I dressed up for presenting this, Judy appearing headless with her head tucked appropriately under her arm. We marched into the local grange hall, with me leading the way; it's not easy to see where you are going with your head tucked underneath your arm, chanting the chorus. I had a nice shiny executioner ax, with the blade made out of plywood and tin foil, the staff striped with red and silver duct tape. Everyone was quite thrilled to see us. There was no panic and we soon were guzzling cider and chumping brownies with the assembled throng, which is not easy when your head is tucked underneath your arm! Cheerily, Charley Noble |
