own time, sustaining each note for as long as they wish so that the phrase overlaps. The final note should be sustained
until all singers have reached it, with the conductor then bringing everyone off together.

Composer’s note
An earlier version of this piece was commissioned in 2004 by The Cavendish Singers to be
performed after the First Lesson in the Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at Westminster
Cathedral. I chose to create a lullaby from the perspectives of two individuals—Mary, mother of
Christ, and Adam, representing the sins of Man—and sourced three separate early English texts
set at the cradle of the baby Jesus. The first lullaby is the earliest known example of the ‘lullay’
song, which appears in several versions in the 14th and 15th centuries and is exceptional in that
it is the song of a human mother; the second lullaby is addressed to Christ by a penitent; and in
the third I envisage Adam, or Man, as the observer.
Texts and translations
These texts and translations may be reproduced as required for programme notes.
for online perusal only
Lullay, lullow, little child,
Into uncowth world icommen so ertow! 1
Against my fadris will I ches
An apple with a rueful res;
Wherefore mine heritage I les,
And now thou weepest therefore. 2
Lullay, lullow, little child,
This woe Adam thee wracht
When he of the apple ate,
And Eve it him betacht. 1
An apple I took of a tree,
God, it had forboden me;
Wherefore I should dampened be,
If thy weeping nay wore. 2
This endris night I saw a sight,
A maid a cradle keep,
And ever she song and said among:
‘Lullay, my child, and sleep’. 3
Lullay, lullow, little child,
You have come unknown into the world!
Against my father’s will I chose
An apple with a rueful rush;
Wherefore I lost my heritage,
And now therefore you weep.
Lullay, lullow, little child,
Adam wrought this woe on you
When he ate the apple
That Eve brought to him.
An apple I took from a tree;
God had forbidden me to do it.
Wherefore I should be damned,
If you did not weep.
On a recent night I saw a sight,
A maid keeping a cradle,
And ever she sang and said:
‘Lullay, my child, and sleep’.

Charm

Anglo-Saxon metrical charms were sets of instructions that were meant to cure sickness
or resolve troubles. They tended to include ingredients for potions, and were intended
to be spoken aloud, with certain phrases to be repeated several times. Twelve such
charms survive in Old English, including this one for water-elf disease, which involves
watery eyes and pale, ill-looking nails.
Here, the composer has adapted the Old English into her own modern text, with
two exceptions:
1) ‘sing þis gealdor ofer þriwa’ (sing this charm three times) is retained, shown as it is
to be pronounced: ‘sing this gal-dor of-er thrir-wah’
for online perusal only
2) the ingredients for the ‘herb box whispers’ sections at the beginning and end. At
the conductor’s discretion, each singer should choose 1–3 herbs from the list below
and whisper them clearly, in their own time, with pauses in between. This may also
be accompanied by optional movements, such as dropping a herb into a bowl each
time a word is spoken.
eoforþrote (thistle) = a-yo-for-thro-the
cassuc (cassock) = cass-uk
fone nioþoweard (the lower part of an iris) = fon-eh nyo-thoh-wahrd
eowberge (yew berry) = a-yo-ber-geh
elehtre (lupine) = ay-lay(ch)¹-treh
eolone (elecampane) = a-yo-lö²-neh
merscmealwan crop (marshmallow tops) = mehr-sh-mahl-wun-crop
fenminte (fen mint) = fayn-mint-eh
dile (dill) = dill-eh
lilie (lily) = li-ly
attorlaþe (betony) = ut-tor-luh-theh
polleie (pennyroyal) = poll-eh-y
marubie (horehound) = muh-roo-bee
docce (dock) = dock-eh
ellen (elder) = el-layn

wermod (wormwood) = wer-mod
streawbergean leaf (strawberry leaf) = strah-ber-gahn lahf
