Celtic Harp,Folk Harp,Pedal Harp - Level 4 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.1264873

By Laura Olson. By Laura Olson. Arranged by Laura Olson. Celtic,Classical,Folk,Irish,Multicultural,New Age,World. Full Performance. Duration 277. Blue Steer Studios #857711. Published by Blue Steer Studios (A0.1264873).

Perform this original work of Celtic Irish setting from her CD (Gypsy Road,2012) scored for harp ensemble of intermediate to advanced players.  Scored in E minor with no lever changes it features a creative slip-jig with lush and effective harmonies.  A rare opportunity to showcase programmatic skills for the harp ensemble.   The dark and mysterious musical message will touch the hearts of all who hear it.

About the Composition

I wrote this when I was very angry at the world.  Someday I might meet a black hound on a dark night... and we’ll both go hunting together.

Black Dogs,  Black Hounds, The Hounds of Hell,  Dogs of Hell,  Gabriel Hounds, Yell Hounds,  Barghest,  Black Dog of the Hanging Hills, Gurt Dog or the Hounds of Herne the Hunter… by whatever name, they are a common feature in the folklore of the British Isles.  The Black Hounds of Cŵn Annwn are the spectral hounds of Annwn, the otherworld of Welsh myth.  Early Christians came to dub these mythical creatures as The Hounds of Hell or Dogs of Hell and erroneously theorized they were therefore owned by Satan.  However, the Annwn of medieval Welsh tradition is an otherworldly paradise and not a hell or abode of dead souls. The Black Hounds are a nocturnal apparition, and their appearance was regarded as a portent of death. They are supposed to hunt on specific nights in the autumn and winter when it is believed that the howling of these huge dogs foretold death to anyone who heard them.

Voice Duet Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.779671

Composed by Arthur Le Clerq. Arranged by Kim Kirkman. Broadway,Contemporary,Musical/Show,Traditional. Score. 4 pages. Kim Kirkman #6697501. Published by Kim Kirkman (A0.779671).

This is a wonderful old comedy song.
This is in C major - the high key for sopranos
I have put in the first verse that Tessie sings, plus the spoken part. I have changed some of the words of the spoken part to update them.
I have then constructed a third verse from other verses that Le Clerq wrote. To sing it exactly like Tessie please repeat first verse.

Words:
Verse:
For years a fairy queen I've bin', For years I foiled the demon king.
But alas, I'm getting on, The years have flown somehow,
And I feel that Fairy Snowdrop isn't wanted now.

Chorus One:
Nobody loves a fairy when she's forty.
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old.
She may still have her magic power, But that is not enough,
They like their bit of magic from a younger bit of fluff.
When once your silver star has lost its glitter,
And your tinsel looks like rust instead of gold.
Your fairy days are ending when your wand has started bending.
Noone loves a fairy when she's old.

Spoken:
T'was I who found the magic wand, I will not tell you where.
T'was I who found young Tinkerbell, her head was full of air
I’ve been a fairy of the flowers, and fairy daffodils,
I’ve been a fairy of the wind, and suffer from it still!
In certain covered valley hills I go down to the glen
Been loved by all the children and run after by the men. Huh!
Noone could touch me at me splits, me splits were all the rage,
Until the night woodman left his chopper on the stage, what a mess!

Verse 2:
Nobody loves a fairy when she's forty.
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old.
As far as I can see they try to push you off the map,
When once your wand has withered and your wings refuse to flap.
When you have lost your little fairy dimples,
And the mothholes in your dress let in the cold,
It seems that they would sooner listen to a blinkin' crooner,
Noone loves a fai-y when she's old!

T'was I who found young Tinkerbell, her head was full of air
I’ve been a fairy of the flowers, and fairy daffodils,
I’ve been a fairy of the wind, and suffer from it still!
In certain covered valley hills I go down to the glen
Been loved by all the children and run after by the men. Huh!
Noone could touch me at me splits, me splits were all the rage,
Until the night woodman left his chopper on the stage, what a mess!

Verse 2:
Nobody loves a fairy when she's forty.
Nobody loves a fairy when she's old.
As far as I can see they try to push you off the map,
When once your wand has withered and your wings refuse to flap.
When you have lost your little fairy dimples,
And the mothholes in your dress let in the cold,
It seems that they would sooner listen to a blinkin' crooner,
Noone loves a fai-y when she's old!
