"Appalachia"
HE work to be featured this coming week from 4YA in the series Masterpieces of Music is Delius’s Appalachia, It will be heard together with Professor V. E. Galway’s analysis, at 7.41 p.m. on Monday, December 8. This choral masterpiece is founded on an old negro slave song, the words of which are heard towards the end of the composition. As a help to those who will be following Professor Galway’s description of the piece, we give below (at his request) the words of the song, which may be difficult to distinguish in the recording. First Chorus: AFTER night has gone comes the day; The dark shadows will fade away, Towards the morning litt a voice, Let the scented woods rejoice, And echoes swell across the mighty stream. Final Climax: Solo: HONEY, I am going down the river in the morning. Chorus: 4 wise Heigh ho, heigh ho, down the mi river: O Honey, I'll be gone * f When next the whippoorwill’s a-calling, And don’t you be too lonesome, love, And don’t you fret and cry; For the dawn will soon be breaking, The radiant morn is nigh, And you'll find me ever waiting, My own sweet Nelly Gray. Heigh ho, heigh ho. Towards the morning lift a voice Let the scented woods rejoice, And echoes swell across the mighty stream.
