From: GUEST,Lin To GeoffLawes, I just wanted to thank you very much for all your work in listing alphabetically the September songs and all your other informative posts!! It is greatly appreciated! You are so kind! From Lin (the September birthday girl) Starting September 01, I am going to listen to a few Sept. songs each day leading up to my birthday on the 22nd. Kind of like to do this as I spend the birthday alone and now will have all these wonderful September songs to listen to, to keep me company. Thanks to everyone so far who have added songs and information to the September song list. |
23 Aug 21 - 05:19 PM (#4117640) Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GeoffLawes Happy Birthday Lin. Some of the songs I have posted are a bit sombre for a birthday collection but I hope the collection is interesting. |
25 Aug 21 - 01:37 AM (#4117758) Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,Lin Hi Geoff, I've always been drawn to the sombre songs or songs with primarily minor chords. I know that is strange perhaps. I remember when I was a little kid really liking the song "Patches" which was a very sombre song. Then really loving the song, "Catch the Wind" by Donovan when I was about 12 or so. Of course there are plenty of songs I like that are not sombre at all and have major chords but there is just something about those minor chords in songs that I like the most. Anyone remember that dark lyric song, "Patches?" From the early 1960's I believe? Oh yeah, "Puff the Magic Dragon";used to make me cry too when I was a kid - but still loved the song. I wanted to find that cove and be the dragon's friend when Jackie Paper came no more. Well...I was just a little kid and felt so sad for the dragon. |

04 Sep 21 - 12:45 AM (#4118776) Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: Stilly River Sage September Song (linked here to the Brothers Four) is also TRY TO REMEMBER . There's a brief note in the list, but in fact it is a major song in The Fantasticks, which ran off-Broadway forever but was probably finally killed off by COVID-19. Jerry Orbach sings "Try to Remember" in the off-Broadway version. From Wikipedia: Try to Remember is a song from the musical comedy The Fantasticks. It is the first song sung in the show, to get the audience to imagine what the sparse set suggests. Its lyrics, written by Tom Jones, famously rhyme "remember" with "September", "so tender", and "December." Harvey Schmidt composed the music. I remember the Man Who Fell To Earth use, though I only saw that movie once about 40 years ago. Something to look up for this list.

The two men were bringing home a bag of corn to make poitín with. The bag was too heavy so the men split it up. The father walked home with his portion, but the son was in a boat and he never reached to shore.Chanáinn sung by Máire Ní Choilm (youtube) Subject: RE: Any October Songs?

Geoff, could you move An Chéad Mháirt den Fómhair to the September thread. The first Tuesday of autumn would fall between 21 and 27 Sept. In 1811 the date would have been 24 Sept., if I'm not mistaken.

According to the sleeve notes; the words are from a broadside in the Harkness Collection at the Harris Museum and Library in Preston; and the tune is collated from various traditional sources, with contributions from Nic Jones. This recording was later included in the Fellside anthology LP and CD Flash Company and on Nic Jones' 2 CD anthology Unearthed where he noted: Possibly to the consternation of some, I often deliberately altered or re-wrote words and tunes of traditional songs, although I did try to keep it very much in sympathy with the original. Broadsides, however, offered a good source of ballads without such constraints and gave me the freedom to compose around the text without offence.

21 Sep 22 - 06:37 PM (#4153256) Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GerryM I wonder whether there's some confusion here between Monterey and Monterrey. Both were Mexican, and both were battle sites in 1846 during the war between the United States and Mexico, Monterey on 7 July, Monterrey 21 to 24 September. Monterrey is still Mexican, while Monterey, several hundred miles to the North, is in California, which was ceded to the US by Mexico as a result of the war. Thanks GerryM you may be right but the song title given is spelled “ Monterey “ so possibly it is with the songwriter that the confusion came in ?

From: GUEST,henryp Battle of Monterey; Early on 7 July 1846, the frigate USS Savannah and the two sloops, USS Cyane and USS Levant of the United States Navy, captured Monterey and raised the flag of the United States. The only shots fired were a 21-gun salute to the new U.S. flag fired by each of the U.S. Navy ships in the harbor. Wikipedia Battle of Monterrey; General Pedro de Ampudia and the Mexican Army of the North was defeated by the Army of Occupation, a force of United States Regulars, Volunteers and Texas Rangers under the command of General Zachary Taylor. The hard-fought urban combat led to heavy casualties on both sides. Wikipedia (General Taylor won the day!) The Maid of Monterey - Published F. D. Benteen, Baltimore, 1851 She cast a look of anguish, On dying and on dead; Her lap she made a pillow For those who groan'd and bled. And when the dying soldier For one bright gleam did pray, He bless'd the Senoretta, The maid of Monterey. So, unless the song is completely fictitious, it appears to refer to the Battle of Monterrey. |

23 Sep 22 - 09:34 AM (#4153398) Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp THE FIELD OF MONTEREY The Field of Monterey The song was inspired by the Battle of Monterrey in the Mexican American War, which was one of the most significant battles in the war, but also one of the bloodiest. The words to “The Field of Monterey” can be traced back to the authorship of Marion Dix Sullivan (1802-1860), a poet from New Hampshire. “The Field of Montery” (sic) was written in 1846 and subtitled as being “affectionately dedicated to Mrs. Virginia Q.S. of Virginia.” Edna Bradeen’s version here, which she learned from her mother, is slightly different than Sullivan’s original. Sullivan’s poem was not the only artistic expression to be inspired by the battle. Many poems were written about it. Also written were the songs, “The Storming of Monterey” and “The Maid of Monterey.” The latter seems to have been the most popular of all of the songs to come out of the battle. Most of these songs were written in the same style as the popular sentimental pieces of the day.

When the line is finished at both ends / Then you can send your cocks and hens And go and visit all your friends / Along the Oxford Railway. Chorus: Ri-fan, Ti-fan, mirth and fun, / Don't you wonder how it's done? Carriages without horses run / On the Oxford and 'Ampton Railway.

06 Oct 23 - 11:59 AM (#4183130) Subject: RE: Any September Songs? From: GUEST,henryp There are many English and Irish customs about Michaelmas, 29 September or Old Michaelmas Day, 10 October. Across the British isles it was believed, and is possibly still believed, that eating blackberries after the 29th September was a bad idea. In the Western Antiquary of 1882, it is reported that: Whilst walking the country around [Exeter], a young friend who was with me warned me against picking any blackberries: Because’ said he, grimly ‘it’s past Michaelmass Day and the Devil’s been at 'em." Traditionalcustoms Traditions from Sussex and Hertfordshire say the Devil is abroad on 10th October, and from Worcestershire and Norfolk where it’s 11th October. That’s a difference of eleven days (inclusive or exclusive) and if you know anything about the English folk calendar, this figure will ring a bell, because 10th October is Old Michaelmas Day. Folklorethursday Colum Sands has a song which mentions blackberries and September, though not the Devil, on his latest CD, Song Bridge. Before Winter Sets In; September looks out as the evening draws in, Her colours are coaxing the spiders to spin. They'll lay out their lace in the dew of the whin, For they've plenty to do before winter sets in. And down the long lane with many's the turning, Back-to-school children are laughing and learning. We'll follow the field to the blackberry hill, See the black, red and green and the blossom there still.
