Clark On Ilkley Moor Baht 'at Satb

For an apparent folksong, On Ilkley Moor baht ‘at has a very reliable provenance. The tune, Cranbrook, was devised in 1805 by Thomas Clark, a shoemaker of Canterbury and prolific composer of hymns for, in particular, Nonconformist churches of southeastern England. It was sung to When Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night.Some decades later, an East Riding church choir on an outing is said to have created the new words following an incident on their walk. In the many years that the song has been sung as On Ilkley Moor, ever more rambunctious interpolations have been added, e.g. ‘yum, yum, yum’ or ‘up the ducks!’ following ‘Then we will go and eat up ducks’.In this version by composer and Curwen & Sons Chairman Maurice Jacobson, a descant has been added at verses 3, 6 and 9, and a lively interplay arranged between high and low Voices in the verse and Chorus.

March Of The Men Of Harlech Ttbb Traditional

March of the Men of Harlech is the unofficial national anthem of Wales – there is an official one -- and is well known there. The rest of the world may know the piece from films like Zulu, The Corn is Green and The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain, as well as from regimental songs.The rousing tune with its double-dotted rhythms and inspiring Choral cadence is a favourite with Welsh men’s Choruses. The words, which have appeared in several forms, concern the longest siege on British soil at the Castle of Harlech in 1468, though some insist they refer to an earlier siege during which the future King Henry V of England defeated Owen Glendower.This arrangement for Men’s Chorus TTBB is sure to awaken patriotic fervour in Welsh audiences and appreciation in all others. Welsh lyrics are included in the bass line.
