Description:
The words of Balalulow come from a longer 16th Century Scottish carol. Samuel Pegg writes: "I have tried, through the gentle intensity of the music, to evoke its remarkable words, which locate the meaning of the Nativity not in history or religion but in a simple kindness of heart where a room is always ready".
A lullaby, it should be sung with a gentle, rocking lilt and softly, as if sending the young child to sleep.
A four track EP of new christmas carols is now released on Air Edel Records. It features SATB settings of three texts by GK Chesterton (The House of Christmas, The Wise Men, A Child of the Snows) and a new setting of the 16th Century Scottish carol Balulalow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J3lyW_W63w&t=9s
O my deir hert, young Jesus sweit,
Prepare thy craydil in my spreit,
And I sall rocke thee in my hert,
And never mair from thee depart.
But I sall pryse thee evermoir,
With sang-es sweit unto thy gloir:
The knees of my hert sall I bow
And sing that richt balulalow.
