Red and Green
SATB, piano, tom drum (or kit)
This piece will enliven any Christmas or Solstice program! English folk singer Maddy Prior (best known as the lead vocalist of Steeleye Span) is also a gifted songwriter. “Red and Green,” from Prior’s 1996 release, “Year” has pre-Christian roots and a definite Celtic feel; exploring humanity’s connection to earth’s seasonal changes. Driving, exciting piano part will allow your accompanist to shine!
Text
Red and green together be seen
In the dark time of the year
Red and green together be seen
In the time of dread and fear
Green for the thorn of the holly leaf
That shines in candlelight
That holds the hope of evergreen
That glimmers in the night (Refrain)
Red for the berry round and full
A drop of blood on snow
That shows us our humanity
That fruit from which we grow (Refrain)
These rocky fields of black and white
Demanding endless toil
The misty sun gives tired light
To raise the sleeping soil (Refrain)
