This Endernight

for SATB choir and organ

forperusalonly

Duration: circa 3 minutes

This endernight I saw a sight, All in my sleep:

Mary, that may, she sang lullay And sore did weep;

To keep she sought full fast about Her Son from cold.

Joseph said, “Wife, my joy, my life, Say what ye would.”

“Nothing, my spouse, is in this house Unto my pay; My Son a king, that made all thing, Lieth in hay.

“Ah, my dear Son,” said Mary, “ah, my dear, Kiss Thy mother, Jesu, with a laughing cheer.”

“My mother dear, amend your cheer And now be still; Thus for to lie it is soothly My Father’s will;

Derision, great passion, Infinitely, As it is found, many a wound Suffer shall I;

On Calvary that is so high There shall I be, Man to restore, nailëd full sore Upon a tree.”

“Ah, my dear Son,” said Mary, “ah, my dear, Kiss Thy mother, Jesu, with a laughing cheer.”

Words: Traditional 15th Century

Composer’s Note

forperusalonly

Choirs should aim to have a clear understanding of the nuances of this unusual fifteenth-century text, particularly in terms of the dialogue between Mary and Joseph. Despite an overriding atmosphere of joy and intense love, there are touching moments of pathos, especially in relation to the premonition of Calvary. Underlying the entire performance should be a subtle sense of urgency as the poet’s dream unfolds. An optimistic tempo should remain rock-solid throughout and a sense of forward momentum must be maintained. The quaver patterns in the organ call for a bright registration, but not at a volume which dominates.
