It was accompanied by short verses by his contemporary, Tsutaya Jūzaburō, and between them they produced an enchanting and delightful volume. When I was asked for a substantial piece for soloists, chorus, brass quintet and organ, it seemed a good opportunity to write a collection of numbers with a similar theme. Accordingly, after much highly enjoyable reading, I selected a group of texts which not only convey, somewhat haphazardly, a calendar of at least half the year (roughly, spring to late summer or autumn), but also give examples of birds, beasts and insects, as well as more generalised “gardeny” topics, the whole framed by two verses from a splendid encomium by John Clare. Apart from the great American poet Walt Whitman, all the poets are English, from an anonymous writer of c. 1500 to Thomas Hardy (whose An August Midnight was published at the end of the 19th century). There are some clear resonances which emerged during my researches – for example, it seemed a happy coincidence (happy for the cat, that is) when Clare’s The Hedge-sparrow cropped up in close juxtaposition with Skelton’s A curse on the Cat (my setting of which bears an apology to all cats, animals of which I am particularly fond). Similarly, and equally unhappily for one of them, it seemed fortuitous that I should come across Whitman’s spider soon after reading Blake’s fly. Another element in the concept of the work, and one which explains the more general texts, is that I wanted at least to indicate that it is worth exploring the relationship of man to nature and through it, to God – in many minds the three are inextricably inter-mingled. The original version of Songs of the Garden was written in 2003/04, for soli, choir, brass quintet and organ, and was commissioned by The John Armitage Memorial Trust. This orchestrated version was written in 2008/09 to a commission from the Three Choirs Festival at Hereford. Programme Note © Copyright 2004 by John McCabe

SONGS OF THE GARDEN: TEXTS. 1.

From Nature’s Hymn to the Deity (John Clare) [Choir] All nature owns with one accord The great & universal Lord The sun proclaims him through the day The moon when daylight drops away The very darkness smiles to wear The stars that show us God is there On moonlight seas soft gleams the sky & God is with us waves reply

2.

The Swallow (John Clare) [Choir] Swift goes the sooty swallow o’er the heath, Swifter than skims the cloud-rack of the skies; As swiftly flies its shadow underneath, And on his wing the twittering sunbeam lies, As bright as water glitters in the eyes Of those it passes; ‘tis a pretty thing, The ornament of meadows and clear skies: With dingy breast and narrow pointed wing, Its daily twittering is a song to spring.

3.

To Daffodils (Robert Herrick) [Soprano and Tenor Soli, Choir] Fair daffodils, we weep to see You haste away so soon; As yet the early-rising sun Has not attain’d his noon. Stay, stay, Until the hasting day Has run But to the evensong; And, having pray’d together, we Will go with you along.

4.

The lily-white rose (Anon., c. 1500) [Soli and Choir] This day day dawes This gentil day day dawes, This gentil day dawes, And I must home gone. This gentil day dawes, This day day dawes, This gentil day dawes, And we must home gone. In that garden be floures of hewe, The gelofir gent that she well knewe; The flour-de-luce she did on rewe, And said, ‘The white rose is most trewe This garden to rule by rightwis lawe.’ The lily-white rose me thought I sawe, And ever she sang: [repeat: “This day…”]

5.

We have short time to stay, as you; We have as short a spring; As quick a growth to meet decay As you, or any thing. We die, As your hours do, and dry Away Like to the summer’s rain; Or as the pearls of morning’s dew, Ne’er to be found again.

The Hedge-sparrow (John Clare) [Choir: Sopranos and Altos] The tame hedge-sparrow in its russet dress Is half a robin for its gentle ways, And the bird-loving dame can do no less Than throw it out a crumble on cold days. In early March it into gardens strays, And in the snug clipt box-tree, green and round, It makes a nest of moss and hair, and lays, When e’en the sun is lurking on the ground, Its eggs in number five, of greenish blue. Yet in her garden-home much danger dwells, Where skulking cat with mischief in its breast Catches the young before they leave the nest.

In a glorius garden green Sawe I sitting a comly queen Among the floures that fresh been. She gaderd a floure and set between. The lily-white rose me thought I sawe, The lily-white rose me thought I sawe, And ever she sang: [repeat “This day…”]

6.

A curse on the Cat (John Skelton) [Baritone Solo, Choir: Tenors and Basses] O cat of churlish kind, The fiend was in thy mind When thou my bird untwin’d! I would thou hadst been blind! The leopards savage, The lions in their rage Might catch thee in their paws, And gnaw thee in their jaws! The serpents of Libany Might sting thee venomously! The dragons with their tongues Might poison thy liver and lungs! The manticors of the mountains Might feed upon thy brains!

7.

An August Midnight (Thomas Hardy) [Soprano and Contralto Soli, Choir] A shaded lamp and a waving blind, And the beat of a clock from a distant floor: On this scene enter – winged, horned, and spined – A longlegs, a moth, and a dumbledore; While ‘mid my page there idly stands A sleepy fly, that rubs its hands … Thus meet we five, in this still place,

8.

At this point of time, at this point in space. - My guests besmear my new-penned line, Or bang at the lamp and fall supine. ‘God’s humblest, they!’ I muse. Yet why? They know Earth-secrets that know not I.

A noiseless patient spider (Walt Whitman) [Contralto Solo, Choir] A noiseless patient spider, I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated, Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding, It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself, Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them. And you O my soul, where you stand, Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans in space, Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them, Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold, Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul. [from “Whispers of Heavenly Death”]

9.

The Fly (William Blake) [Choir] Little Fly, Thy summer’s play My thoughtless hand Has brush’d away. Am not I A fly like thee? Or art not thou A man like me? For I dance, And drink, and sing,

10.

Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. If thought is life And strength and breath, And the want Of thought is death; Then am I A happy fly, If I live Or if I die.

Halcyon Days (Walt Whitman) [Soli and Choir] Not from successful love alone, Nor wealth, nor honor’d middle age, nor victories of politics or war; But as life wanes, and all the turbulent passions calm, As gorgeous, vapory, silent hues cover the evening sky, As softness, fulness, rest, suffuses the frame, like fresher, balmier air, As the days take on a mellower light, and the apple at last hangs really finish’d and indolent-ripe on the tree, Then for the teeming quietest, happiest days of all! The brooding and blissful halcyon days! [from “Sands at Seventy”]

11.

From Nature’s Hymn to the Deity (John Clare) [4 Soli, Choir] Winds breath from Gods abode we come Storms louder call God is our home And thunders yet with louder call Sound him as mightiest over all Till earth right loath the proof to miss Echoes triumphantly he is And earth and ocean make reply God reigns on earth in air and sky
