28 Mar 16 - 11:41 PM (#3781984) Subject: tracks: Holy Heathens & The Old Green Man From: Joe Offer Hi, Brian - Gee, I can't find any listing for the Frost and Fire concert. 'Reaphook and Sickle' and 'The Jacobstowe Wassail' appear on an album titled Holy Heathens and the Old Green Man. I wonder if one of these could be the song you seek: Notes: This is an album that Waterson:Carthy have been wanting to make for a very long time. Songs and carols celebrating all the seasons of the year is a very English concept. The Watersons first album in 1965 was the groundbreaking, highly revered and very successful "Frost & Fire" - A Calendar of Ritual and Magical Songs," and the concept continues to fascinate them. With "Holy Heathens & The Old Green Man" Waterson Carthy have eclipsed even that seminal album. These songs celebrate the diversity of the seasons as well as the religious, physical and economic impact each had upon people's lives and still resonate today with all the power they had in our past.

28 Mar 16 - 11:47 PM (#3781986) Subject: RE: 2006 'Frost and Fire' Concert From: Reinhard It's on the YouTube video #MC50 : Waterson:Carthy "Frost & Fire Live" 2006 posted by Kev Boyd in his Martin Carthy blog. The notes to the video say it's called "The Quern Song", and it's sung by The Devil's Interval with Emily Portman in lead. I found lyrics somewhere on the net where it is called "Never Be Still (Harvest Song)", the words are attributed to Alfred Perceval Graves. These are the actual words Emily sings: Maids at morn, grind the good corn Each in her mill, with a will In go the oats, wheats and pearly barley Down in a shower falls the flour Winding strong, grinding all day long Round, round and around goes the mill Grinding turn about till the meal is out Must never ever stand still Those hands that are the strongest Will find a welcome here And they who work the longest Shall earn the best cheer repeat chorus |
