INTRODUCTION<br />
WELCOME! This year we are celebrating Puget Sound Revels’ 20th Anniversary<br />
and we‘re delighted you are here for The Christmas Revels. For two decades<br />
we have offered glimpses of the celebrations of times past and have invited<br />
our present day community into the act and art of celebration. Imagine the<br />
traditional arts as the seedbed of all the arts. Imagine the traditional arts<br />
as nourishment that sustains the whole community. Imagine Puget Sound<br />
Revels as a cultivator of that seedbed. For 20 years we’ve been turning the soil,<br />
bringing the deep rich material of past communities into our own. A wellspring<br />
of song, dance and story is the fruit of our efforts. What fun it has been.<br />
The Christmas Revels is based on the old and varied traditions that arose in<br />
response to winter – that time of the year when people gathered with laughter,<br />
music, dance and story-telling to drive the dark away. Each year, we delve into<br />
the traditions of a different time and place. Today we find ourselves in Haddon<br />
Hall, the ancestral manor of the Dukes of Rutland in England’s Derbyshire. It is<br />
a real place, not just a Revels fantasy. Nearly eight-hundred and fifty years ago<br />
along the River Wye, construction of this great house began; the banquet hall<br />
(in which our Revels takes place) was completed around 1370. For centuries it<br />
has stood as its inhabitants are born, prosper and pass on; as styles and customs<br />
change; as the political and economic life of the country around it evolve. It is a<br />
tangible link to the generations that have preceded us.<br />
Our Revels opens in December, 1925. The current Duke and his family have<br />
taken an afternoon ride in the new motorcar for a last look at the grand but<br />
derelict manor before it is demolished. They know the splendid old place has<br />
hosted 800 years of their forbearers’ feasting and revelry. What they don’t know<br />
is that it still hosts winter revelers. Tonight they’ll discover (and we with them)<br />
that celebration ties us all together: generations past, present and – through<br />
our children – future.<br />
WELCOME YULE!<br />
Thanks beyond words are due to BJ Douglas and<br />
Megan Oberfield. Each year this remarkably<br />
talented duo brings beauty, magic and laughter to<br />
the Rialto and beyond. We are all grateful.<br />
It is expressly forbidden to use photographic or sound recording equipment<br />
during the performance. Unauthorized persons found using such equipment<br />
will be asked to leave or will be magically returned to the 12th century.

Heedless of the wind and weather…<br />

6. Gloucestershire Wassail<br />
The wassailers went singing from house to house, farm to farm, with a wassail cup hoping their<br />
hosts would fill it to ensure good luck and abundance. From the Anglo-Saxon wes-hal meaning<br />
“be whole” or “be well!”<br />
SPIRITS OF HADDON CHORUS SEATTLE BRASS ENSEMBLE<br />
7. Apple Tree Wassail<br />
This ritual folk song from Somerset reflects the early origin of the carol, which involved dancing –<br />
usually in a ring, in this case around an apple tree – to bring good luck and encourage its growth.<br />

Sometimes called the “Dilly Song,” this song from Devon and Cornwall is related to Green Grow the<br />

WEE SPIRITS OF HADDON SPIRITS OF HADDON CHORUS<br />
DERBYSHIRE PLAYERS TIM HELMING, Percussion<br />
16. Winter Wakenth All My Cares<br />
From The Harley Lyrics (also called Harley MS 2253), one of the richest sources of mediaeval English<br />

texts. This setting is by John Fleagle.<br />
HEATHER URSCHEL, soloist<br />

A seasonal poem by Patrick Swanson.<br />
BOB MATTHEWS
18. Lord of the Dance<br />

This setting by Gustav Holst (1874-1934) of a poem by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894) has become a<br />
beloved Christmas season carol.<br />
WEE SPIRITS OF HADDON<br />
20. Abbots Bromley Horn Dance<br />
This ancient ritual dance for good luck in hunting the stag is still danced every year in the little<br />
village of Abbots Bromley, England. Carbon dating of the reindeer antlers used in Abbots Bromley<br />
dates them to 900 CE, about the time of the Danish invasion. Its four supernumerary characters –<br />
he Folk Fool, the Man-Woman, the Hobby Horse, the Boy Archer – link it with the mumming<br />
traditions of Christmas.<br />
ABBOTS BROMLEY DANCERS CHRIS BRIDEN, viola da gamba<br />
21. Owt Of Your Slepe Aryse<br />
A 15th century composition for three voice parts. “Of all women she [the Virgin Mary] beareth the<br />
bell” is likely a reference to the lead sheep in a flock, or “bellwether.”<br />
THE SPIRITS OF HADDON WOMEN<br />
22. All Hail to the Days<br />
The words and the tune of this jaunty broadside ballad first appeared in collections in the 17th century.<br />
SPIRITS OF HADDON CHORUS SEATTLE BRASS ENSEMBLE<br />
DERBYSHIRE PLAYERS<br />
23. Wee Spirits of Haddon<br />
The Wren Song<br />
This ancient song about the hunting of the wren, bringer of luck in the new years, survives today<br />
in a December 26 tradition in Ireland and the Isle of Man.<br />
Tomorrow the Fox<br />
Thomas Ravenscroft published this “melodius Musicke” in his 1609 collection Deuteromelia.
24. Medieval Set – Derbyshire Players, with Sarah Comer on violin<br />
Stantipes<br />
Originally for keyboard, with complicated harmonies and rhythms, this anonymous dance piece is<br />
from the mid-14th century Robertsbridge Codex, from a Cistercian monastery in Sussex, England.<br />
Nota<br />
The tune is from an interesting 13th-14th century manuscript from Coventry, England, that contains<br />
local legal documents, a reissue of the Magna Carta and several pieces of music and poetry.<br />
25. Rejoice, Ye Tenants of the Earth<br />
Originally published by the Somerset composer William Gifford as “A Hymn for Christmas Day 1817,”<br />
this became a favorite of southwest England’s west gallery caroling parties. Our version, edited by<br />
Dave Townsend, is based on the parts found in the Thomas Hardy manuscripts, collated with versions<br />
from various other Dorset manuscripts.<br />
SPIRITS OF HADDON CHORUS DERBYSHIRE PLAYERS<br />
26. English Country Dance<br />
“Hole in the Wall” is one of many pieces written by Henry Purcell as incidental music for plays. This<br />
one was published in John Playford’s 1698 edition of “The Dancing Master.”<br />
SPIRITS OF HADDON CHORUS DERBYSHIRE PLAYERS<br />
27. Twelve Days of Christmas<br />
A traditional English ‘forfeit’ carol.<br />
28. Dona Nobis Pacem (Grant Us Peace)<br />
The origin of this melody is unknown. Its words are from the Latin Mass.<br />
~ALL SING~
29. St George and the Dragon Mummers play<br />
A version of the traditional mummers play, which celebrates the rites of fertility, death and rebirth.<br />
The sword dance and ritual execution survive from a time when the death of the hero or “Year King,”<br />
was considered necessary to ensure fertility. The “lock” formed by the dancers’ swords symbolizes the<br />
sun and the cutting down of the old so the new can spring to life.<br />
BAKEWELL VILLAGE MUMMERS CUTTING EDGE SWORD TEAM<br />
30. Alle Psallite Cum Luya<br />
An anonymous 13th c. motet from the Montepelier codex. This codex, compiled into its present form<br />
in Paris in around 1300, is the largest source of medieval motets in the world.<br />
THE SPIRITS OF HADDON CHORUS & BELLS<br />
31. The Shortest Day<br />
Written for Revels by Susan Cooper in 1977, this poem is part of Christmas Revels performances<br />
throughout the country.<br />
9TH DUKE OF RUTLAND<br />
32. Sussex Mummers Carol<br />
Traditionally sung by the Christmas Mummers in the Horsham district of Sussex, England, this carol<br />
has become a Revels tradition as it closes every Christmas Revels production. The brass arrangement<br />
is by Brian Holmes, with descant and final verse harmonization by Ralph Vaughan Williams.<br />

THANK YOU…<br />
WHAT DOES IT TAKE FOR <strong>REVELS</strong> TO THRIVE? It takes all the donors on the previous pages, all the<br />
volunteers on this page, all the players and production people, great and enthusiastic audiences and lots<br />
of goodwill and encouragement in our community. Hurrah for Revels that all these things have come<br />
together. Many of the people below have helped multiple times for multiple events, which include our<br />
spring salons, spring sing, office organizing and cleaning, June brunch, Children’s Summer Solstice Play<br />
Day, mailings, data entry, Abbots Bromliad, TacomaSings, Flinging Joy On-line Auction and Concert,<br />
Christmas Revels production assistance AND the work of the Revels Board. Great, great thanks are due<br />
to this stalwart band of volunteers.<br />
