Re: "Christmas Eve at Sea"

Guest "julia" posted Masefield's poem "Christmas Eve at Sea" in the thread on songs about Christmas at sea, but she gave no indication whether this had been set (folk-style) as an actual song. The poem was published in Masefield's Salt Water Ballads (1915).

This lieder site lists quite a number of texts by Masefield which have been set to music:
The Lied, Art Song, and Choral Texts Page: John Masefield

There are two settings listed there for "Christmas Eve at Sea": one by Frederick Ayres and one by Malcolm Gordon Davidson, the latter titled rather generically "A Christmas carol." Amazon.com has a sketchy listing for the Ayres setting. For what it's worth, Ayres lived most of his life in Colorado Springs, Colorado, more isolated from the sea than even that famous spawning ground of sea captains, the Czech Republic!
