Need a short piece to work on phrasing/intonation with your group? This could be used as a 'palate cleanser' in a concert or recital.
A short piece for Woodwind Quintet. Two of Holst's folk song inspired melodies that were used in two of his Military Band works. Easy to put together without too much rehearsal required.
Lyrics for the first theme - 6 verses given but there are only 2 played in this arrangement (instrumentally):
Abroad as I was walking one evening in the spring I heard a maid in Bedlam so sweetly for to sing;
Her chain she rattled with her hands and thus replied she:
I love my love because I know My love loves me
Oh cruel were his parents Who sent my love to sea and cruel was the ship that bore my love from me:
Yet I love his parents since they’re his although they’ve ruined me:
I love my love because I know My love loves me
"With straw I'll weave a garland, I'll weave it very fine; with roses, lilies, daisies, I'll mix the eglantine;
And I'll present it to my love when he returns from sea.
I love my love because I know My love loves me
Just as she there sat weeping her love he came on land then, hearing she was in Bedlam he ran straight out of hand;
He flew into her snow-white arms and thus replied he:
I love my love because I know My love loves me
She said: “My love don’t frighten me, are you my love or no?” “O yes, my dearest Nancy,
I am your love, also I am returned to make amends for all your injury.”
I love my love because I know My love loves me
So now these two are married, And happy may they be Like turtle doves together, In love and unity.
All pretty maids with patience wait that have got loves at sea;
I love my love because I know My love loves me
