このコンテンツについて

The Reverend Sabine Baring Gould was an exceptional parson and squire from Devonshire, England.
He is probably best remembered as the composer of the hymn 'Onward Christian Soldiers'.
Born in Exeter in 1834, he died at his estate, Lewtrenchard Manor in West Devon, in 1924.
As 2024 is the centenary of his death it gives me the opportunity to spotlight what he considered to be the most important achievement of his life, that of collecting the old folk songs of Devonshire, and later Cornwall, as he termed it, 'from the mouths of the people'.
Join me as I tell stories about, and sing songs from, this far from ordinary Victorian country parson as he travelled by pony and trap across his native Devonshire seeking out songs that now form a major part of the English folk song tradition.

    Season's Greetings One And All!

    Welcome to the festive sixtieth edition of The Parson and the Songmen!

    In this episode we tell the story of a special carol service that takes place every year in the Stratton/Bude area of North Cornwall to keep alive a very special set of carols peculiar to the area.

    Mike and Jon recorded this year's service so expect some carols that you will most likely be very unfamiliar to you, and to that end here are the words for the carols included in the podcast.

    Morwenna Carol

    God from on high hath heard, let sighs and sorrows cease,

    Lo from the open heaven descends to man the promised peace,

    To man the promised peace.

    Lo from the open heaven descends to man the promised peace,

    To man the promised peace, the promised peace.


    Hark! Through the silent night angelic voices swell,

    Their joyful songs proclaim that God is born on earth to dwell,

    Is born on earth to dwell,

    Their joyful songs proclaim that God is born on earth to dwell,

    Is born on earth to dwell, on earth to dwell…

    Let Christians All With One Accord Rejoice

    Let Christians all with one accord r ejoice, and praises sing with heart as well as voice,

    To God on high, who wonderous things have done,

    In sending us, in sending us, in sending us, in sending us his well beloved son.

    That blessed babe and holy child of love, came down from heaven that we might reign above,

    The joyful news was brought on angels’ wings,

    Of our redemption, our redemption, our redemption, our redemption by the King of Kings.

    Three wise men by a star were hither brought, and found the blessed babe they long had sought…

    O Come, O come Emmanuel

    A deus, A deus, Emmanuel,

    Daspren an prisner Ysrael,

    Divres, hirethek, trist, a vyw,

    Hirneth ow kortos dos Mab Dyw.

    Omlowenha, Emmanuel

    A dheu dhis skon, A Ysrael…

    If you do celebrate, you may well have noticed that Yuletide is nearly upon us... But, if you did need reminding, then this episode of The Parson and the Songmen will do just that for you!

    There are plenty of Christmas and Winter Solstice customs and traditions out there, but this edition will hopefully open your eyes and ears to some that are (almost) peculiar to Devon and Cornwall, and may even help to explain the origins of some traditions that we take for granted today.
