We are looking for anglo-irish song material about Easter and be grateful for advice. Kind regards Johannes Schiefner |

04 Mar 03 - 09:41 AM (#903110) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs associated with Easter From: Mary in Kentucky Do you want songs that mention "Easter," or do you want songs "about" Easter? Folksongs? or anything in the Anglo/Irish tradition? About Easter -- Handel's "I Know that my Redeemer Liveth" from "The Messiah" in the last section (after the Hallelujah Chorus). |

04 Mar 03 - 02:07 PM (#903341) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs associated with Easter From: Ron Olesko Lament of the Three Marys. Joe Heaney recorded the definitive version (in my opinion.). Cathie Ryan has also recorded the song combining it with another fitting piece. The song is traditionally sung on Good Friday and I understand there are hundreds of verses that have been collected. |

04 Mar 03 - 03:08 PM (#903377) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs associated with Easter From: greg stephens I imagine there will be a Pace-Egging Song or two in the DT, that was(is) an Easter custom in the north-west of England. (I have a fine photo of my grandfather in costume, and not very well blacked-up). That, off-hand, is the only class of songs I can think of in the English folk tradition that are actually about Easter customs, as opposed songs appropriate to the season, of which plenty are mentioned above. So do try the DT, I amagine it would be titled either Pace Egg Song or Pace Egging Song. |
