Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: GUEST,henryp Date: 17 Jun 23 - 07:31 AM SONGS BY JOHN WESLEY 17 June On this date in 1703, the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, was born, the 15th of 19 children of a clergyman. John and Charles Wesley have almost 500 hymns attributed to them. However, the brothers agreed not to indicate individual authorship. While the majority of the hymns may have been written by Charles, John was responsible for the translations from the German. In 1740 they published a volume of Hymns and Sacred Poems that included one by Charles titled “For the Anniversary Day of One’s Conversion”, an eighteen-stanza hymn. In 1753 John Wesley published an abridged form of this hymn that started with stanza 7. This shortened version quickly became a favourite among Methodists, leading to its placement as the first hymn in the 1780 Collection of Hymns for the People Called Methodists. Proceedings of the Charles Wesley Society 17 (2013) O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer’s praise, The glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O9kw3cILpg&t=9s Tune; Lyngham extended, a fuguing tune by Thomas Jarman (b. Clipston, Northamptonshire, England, 1776; d. Clipston, 1862), published in his Sacred Music (around 1803). Jarman was a tailor by vocation, but he much preferred his musical avocation. He composed many hymn tunes, which were published in seventeen collections, including The Northamptonshire Harmony (1826), as well as in The Wesleyan Methodist periodical.

From: GeoffLawes Date: 06 Jun 23 - 11:04 AM MACK’REL UP THE WALL Now it’s fishing fever times People run with rod and line It’s out of May and into June There’s mack’rel up the wall A curious song about the annual mackerel run that used to occur in Plymouth, UK. It is part of local oral history that each summer large mackerel shoals arrived in the nearby coves. Someone would shout, “Mackerel up the wall”. Once the alarm was raised, all the townspeople would rush out of their houses and down to the water’s edge where whole families would fish for their supper. The supply was so plentiful, you were able to fish with just ‘sticks, string and old bent pins’ Lyrics on Singing Histories: Plymouth from EFDSS https://media.efdss.org/resourcebank/docs/EFDSS_Education_RecentProjects_SingingHistoriesPlymouth.pdf I tried to find a recording of the song on-line but had no luck. ?? |

Subject: RE: Any June Songs? From: GerryM Date: 04 Mar 23 - 06:18 PM Dana Lyons wrote and recorded JUNE IS A COMING, available at https://youtu.be/1ez1DOKchD0 Lots of months get mentioned in this song, set in Seattle. The first stanza goes, The Fall is the sunniest time of the year And the mountains are clear every day, But November it brings home the clouds And the rain once again, December is many warm nights by the fire Reading stories and sipping some beer, With the days growing longer, The end of the winter seems near. The 2nd stanza mentions March. We finally get to June in the 3rd stanza: June is a coming, the salmon are running And I've got to be on my way, I don't want to leave you my darling But there's so many more debts to pay, They say that the catch will be bigger this year And we'll all come home rich in the end, I don't want to leave you my darling, But the nets will be loaded by dawn, June is a coming and I must be rolling along. |
