Subject: Help: info on easter carol
Can anyone provide me with information relating to an Easter carol titled 'Mary mother come and see'. I have it on a dub of an old Topic LP by the Valley Folk Topic 12T192. I don't know whether the original album had any liner notes. Does anyone have a copy of the vinyl? I have had no success with a net search. Google only gives a link to the Valley Folk in a Topic album index and to a record company that gives an attribution to Scottish composer James Douglas. If it is the same piece, he may have made a choral arrangement, but I doubt he had any hand in its composition. It has the feel of a traditional folk carol.

Any background info on this lovely carol would be most appreciated.
