Gloucestershire Wassail
Composers:- Clark, Philip
Duration: 2
Description:
While the song is now usually called the GLOUCESTER WASSAIL and was certainly copied down from a Gloucestershire resident by Ralph Vaughan Williams, it existed in many versions in most of the counties of southern England. The wassail – the blessing of the trees and animals – most likely developed from winter rituals hopefully guaranteeing the return of spring growth and summer abundance. ‘Gutsy’ playing is needed!
