The Angel Gabriel, Coventry Carol, O Come Emmanuel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCM1oh2jWA0

I have always enjoyed singing carols in minor keys, and when it comes to arranging, love the harmonic possibilities, especially for false relations. I have arranged three so far, and if you buy them as a bundle, the third one is discounted. You can watch the Youtube of The Angel Gabriel here, but you can also find the others by typing Helen Marple-Horvat, Songwriter, Arranger and Composer into Youtube, or research them on the Sheet Music Plus Site.

In my arrangement of ‘Angel Gabriel’ I have included various harmonisations of the wonderful tune, and a short contrapuntal development section in the middle to add some interest. In both ‘Coventry Carol’ and ‘O Come Emmanuel’ there are a few surprises in the counting so watch out! It isn’t always obvious, but with a few rehearsals, will give you a fresh takes on these very old carols.

Capriccio Quartet are professionals, and play in higher positions with few open strings, lots of vibrato and slurred bows. That would be fine for Grade 5 players and above. However, I don’t want younger players to feel daunted! All three carols are in good keys for strings, with the double stopping always including an open string. They can also use open strings freely without detracting from this ancient style, or try one note per bow, dropping the first violin down an octave. The recording of Coventry Carol is at a very fast pace which shows off the rhythmic drive of the arrangement. I also love it much slower so that the intense dissonance can be brought out.

There are two short excerpts from Coventry Carol and O Come Emmanuel, but full recordings are available to view on the single titles on the Sheet Music 
Plus Catalogue Index under my name.

Composed by Traditional. Arranged by James M. Guthrie. Chamber,Christmas,Historic,Renaissance,Traditional. 14 pages. Jmsgu3 #1080594. Published by jmsgu3 (A0.1505206).

The Coventry Carol is an essential and historically significant English Christmas carol with several notable aspects:

Origins and History
It originated in the 16th century in Coventry, England.
The carol was part of a medieval mystery play called The Pageant of the Shearmen and Tailors.
It was performed annually by local trade guilds as part of religious community events that told Bible stories.

Unique Subject Matter
Unlike most Christmas carols, it does not celebrate the birth of Jesus but instead commemorates the Massacre of the Innocents.
The lyrics are from the perspective of mothers in Bethlehem mourning their children who are about to be killed by King Herod's soldiers.

Musical Characteristics
It has a haunting, plaintive melody in a minor key, which adds to its somber mood.
The original medieval melody has been lost, but the current tune dates back to at least 1591.

Historical Preservation
The carol narrowly survived being lost to history. The original manuscript was destroyed in a fire in 1879 but was preserved thanks to earlier transcriptions by scholars. It gained renewed popularity after being broadcast from the bombed ruins of Coventry Cathedral in 1940 during World War II.

Cultural Impact
While not as widely known as some carols, it remains an important part of English Christmas musical traditions.
Its poignant lyrics and melody have made it a powerful and moving piece for many listeners.

Thus, The Coventry Carol represents an important piece of medieval English musical and theatrical history and a unique perspective on the Christmas story that has endured for centuries.

Lyrics:
Christmas Carols

(The Coventry Carol and Wexford Carol)

Arranged by Connie Boss

 

(Solo)

Lullay thou little tiny child, By by lully lullay

Lullay thou little tiny child, By by lully lullay

 

Verse 1:

Good people all this Christmas time

Consider all and bear in mind,

What our good God for us has done

In sending His beloved Son

With Mary holy, we should pray to God with love

To God with love this Christmas Day.

 

Verse 2:

The night before that happy tide,

The noble virgin while with her guide,

Were long time seeking up and down,

To find a lodging in the town.

But mark how all things had come to pass

From ev’ry door repelled at last

As long foretold their refuge all

Was but a humble, oxen’s stall

 

Verse 3:

Near Bethlehem did shepherds keep

Their flocks of lamb and feeding sheep

To whom God’s angels did appear

Which put the shepherds in great fear.

Prepare and go the Angel’s said

To Bethlehem, be not afraid

For there you’ll find this happy morn

A princely babe, sweet Jesus born.

 

Ending:

By by lully lullay.
