Peter Warlock (pseudonimo di Philip Heseltine; 1894 – 17 dicembre 1930): Bethlehem Down, carol per coro a 4 voci (1927) su testo Bruce Blunt (1899 – 1957). Coro del King’s College di Cambridge.
«When He is King we will give Him a King’s gifts,
Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown,
Beautiful robes», said the young girl to Joseph,
Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down.
Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight,
Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music,
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
When He is King they will clothe Him in grave-sheets,
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown,
He that lies now in the white arms of Mary,
Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down.
Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming,
Close-huddled oxen to keep him from cold,
Mary for love, and for lullaby music,
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem Down.
Lo stesso brano nella trascrizione per orchestra d’archi realizzata nel 2002 da Philip Lane (1950-). Royal Ballet Sinfonia, dir. Gavin Sutherland.

Molto bello ma preferisco il secondo per orchestra.: meno natalizio e meno inglese.

I know Warwick college service for students, though I did not apply for grants.
