SONGBIRD 5 Charm for online perusal only Kerry Andrew SSAA unaccompanied Difficulty level 2
6 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 felterre (centaury) = fel-ter-reh wermod (wormwood) = wer-mod streawbergean leaf (strawberry leaf) = strah-ber-gahn lahf consolde (comfrey) = con-sol-deh ¹ (ch) = hard German ‘ch’ (as in loch) ² ö = German ‘ö’ (similar to the ‘er’ sound in English)
