Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: JHW Date: 28 May 21 - 05:53 AM Too much to read here to be sure of not duplicating. Earlier this week I SANG as did others at a limited garden singaround. Birds were indeed cheeping merrily. A version of Bushes and Briars I think I found in Seeds of Love. "Through Bushes and through Briars, I lately took my way, All for to hear the small birds sing, One evening in May". |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: Felipa Date: 26 May 21 - 03:44 PM I've mentioned a couple of times that there was a previous Mudcat discussion of May songs. I haven't found a thread specifically for June songs; a search gave me a long long list of DT songs which mention June. Even "April come she will"(in June she'll change her tune) is included. But there are a handful of Song a day threads and I noticed, but have not yet looked at, a recent - or recently refreshed? - months of the year inclusive thread. Jon Boden: 'A Folk Song A Day' blog-finished!!!! includes these lists, previously posted by Joe Offer in Jan 2011. There are blue clickable links on the original thread. But not all the songs selected were directly connected with the months, I think, but many are.: the May songs: May 1: Hail, Hail The First Of May (Dave Webber) May 2: Hal And Tow May 3: The Outlandish Knight May 4: The Verdant Braes Of Skreen May 5: Bonny Bunch Of Roses May 6: Broomfield Hill May 7: Death and the Lady May 8: Gathering Rushes (Underneath Her Apron) May 9: [Heather] Down the Moor May 10: As I Roved Out May 11: Searching For Lambs May 12: My Husband’s Got No Courage In Him May 13: Sweet Nightingale May 14: The Gardener May 15: Oh What a Beautiful Morning May 16: Charming Molly May 17: P Stands For Paddy I Suppose May 18: Gypsy Rover May 19: Lillibulero May 20: Big Rock Candy Mountain May 21: Roseville Fair (Bill Staines) May 22: The House Carpenter May 23: Farewell to the Gold (Paul Metsers) May 24: Little Sally Racket (Haul 'er Away) May 25: The Rout of the Blues May 26: The Banks of the Ohio May 27: The Birds Upon the Tree (not at Mudcat) May 28: Babylon / The Bonnie Banks Of Fordie May 29: Icarus (Anne Lister) May 30: Little Musgrave And Lady Barnard (Child #81) May 31: Claudy Banks Here are the June songs: June 1: Just As The Tide Was Flowing June 2: The Beggar Laddie (Child #280) June 3: Garden Hymn (not at Mudcat) June 4: Streams Of Lovely Nancy June 5: Let Union Be June 6: After The Ball June 7: Innocent When You Dream (Tom Waits)-not at Mudcat June 8: Poverty Knock June 9: Abe Carman from Bellamy's The Transports June 10: Lock Keeper June 11: The Ghost June 12: The Exile Song June 13: Wild Mountain Thyme June 14: Rag Fair June 15: Rose of Allandale June 16: Farmer's Boy June 17: Grand Conversation With Napoleon June 18: The Eighteenth Day Of June June 19: Roll Alabama Roll June 20: Bold Archer June 21: The Way Through The Woods (Kipling/Bellamy) June 22: Banks Of Sweet Primroses June 23: When Fortune Turns the Wheel June 24: The Larks They Sang Melodious June 25: Farmer’s Toast June 26: Young Roger Esquire June 27: One Night As I Lay June 28: Earl Richard June 29: White Cockade June 30: Rose In June |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GerryM Date: 24 May 21 - 01:07 AM MAY DAY DAY , written by Jean Ritchie. Susie Glaze wrote, Jean’s songs grew out of the old ones. When a situation came up that didn’t have an old song to go with it, well she made up a new one. Uncle Jason would say, “if you have a set of words and you want to sing ‘em, well just get you a tune and sing the tune to ‘em!” They sometimes sound like the very old family songs. As time went by, she needed to sing a new kind of song that was original and personal… Songs to express the changing world, her love for her people and her past, and her place on earth – and hope for the future. Cold and dark the winter, in march it snows again. Through the rains of April, spring comes stealin’ in; Smilin’ o’er the meadow in the risin’ light of day; Beauty is reborn again every first of May! For when I’m walkin’ with my darlin’ on a May Day Day, Walkin’ with my darlin’ on a May Day Day, Oh there’s nothin’ much a doin’ and little for to say; But oh my heart is happy on a May Day Day! Folks are cold and distant, the world’s about to freeze, Never has the world known harder times than these; Suffering world forgive me and grant me just a day; I cannot help but hope again, every first of May! For when I’m walkin’ with my darlin’ on a May Day Day, Walkin’ with my darlin’ on a May Day Day, Oh there’s nothin’ much a doin’ and little for to say; But oh my heart is happy on a May Day Day! Recording by Jon Pickow (Jean Ritchie's youngest son). |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GeoffLawes Date: 23 May 21 - 08:39 AM ONLY FOR THREE MONTHS Today,23rd May, is the anniversary of the landing, in 1937, of refugee children from S.S. Habana at Southampton. These children were sent for safety to Britain from war-torn Spain following the bombing of Guernika during the Spanish Civil War. “Only for Three Months “ is a song performed by Na-Mara which tells the story. Rob Garcia of Na mara is the son of Fausto Garcia, who was evacuated as a child from Bilbao in 1937 and given asylum in Britain.

Subject: Whitsun From: Felipa Date: 17 May 21 - 03:28 PM Whitsun is celebrated about 7 weeks after Easter, so it's also a moveable feast. I would say Whitsun is mainly associated with June. But this year it falls in May. So for now we can consider songs like the Whitsun Carol and Dancing at Whitson (both in the Digital Tradition database) and Maidín Luan Cincise (a patriotic song in Irish Gaelic, "On Whit Monday Morning") at https://songsinirish.com/maidin-luain-chincise-lyrics/ but I'll put it in Mudcat later with translation and a bit of info. I don't know what date Whit Monday fell in 1798, however. |

Los bilbilikos kantan, Suspirando el amor, I la pasión me mata, Muchigua mi dolor. Mas presto ven, palomba, Mas presto ven a mí, Mas presto tú mi alma, Ke yo me vo morir.? La roza enflorese En el mez de May Mi alma s'eskurese, Sufriendo del amor Sufriendo del amor. Sufriendo del amor a translation The rose blooms in May My soul darkens, suffering from love Suffering from love Nightingales sing, sighing of love And the passion kills me, my pain increases my pain increases Come more quickly, my dove More quickly to me More quickly you my soul, because I feel myself dying I feel myself dying The rose blooms in May My soul darkens, suffering from love Suffering from love Suffering from love https://lyricstranslate.com see also https://www.circleboston.org/sites/www.circleboston.org/files/SingingForABetterWorldProgram_0.pdf page 12 video of performance by Tatcho Drom |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GUEST,Jiggers Date: 16 May 21 - 11:37 AM While strolling through the park one day, All in the merry month of May, I roguish pair of eyes they took me by surprise In a moment my poor heart she stole away. Oh, a sunny smile was all she gave to me And of course we were as happy as can be. So neatly I raised my hat and made a polite remark, I never shall forget that lovely afternoon, When I met her at the fountain in the park. https://youtu.be/QigA5PaD7oY |

Subject: RE: Any May songs? From: GUEST,Felipa Date: 14 May 21 - 10:47 AM a song about All Soul's Day but also about May https://music.williams.edu/files/2017/05/Final-Translations-and-Program-Notes-1.pdf Allerseelen (All Souls’ Day) Text by Hermann von Glim (1812-1864) All Souls Day, November second, is a day to remember the dead. In Allerseelen, a lover uses the mood of that day to relive a love affair that has long since passed.[in May] Stell auf den Tisch die duftenden Reseden, Die letzten roten Astern trag herbei, Und laß uns wieder von der Liebe reden, Wie einst im Mai. Gib mir die Hand, daß ich sie heimlich drücke Und wenn man's sieht, mir ist es einerlei, Gib mir nur einen deiner süßen Blicke, Wie einst im Mai. Es blüht und duftet heut auf jedem Grabe, Ein Tag im Jahr ist ya denToten frei, Komm an mein Herz, daß ich dich wieder habe, Wie einst im Mai. Translation Put on the table the fragrant mignonettes, carry the last red astors here, and let us again talk of love like once in May. Give me your hand, that I may secretly press it, And if anyone sees it, it makes on difference to me, give me only one of your sweet glances like once in May. Today it blossoms and smells sweet on each grave one day in the year indeed the dead are free, come to my heart, that I have you again, like once in May |
