Peter Warlock : The Curlew ( Part One )
Photography By Jari James .
Philip Arnold Heseltine (30 October 1894 – 17 December 1930), known by the pseudonym Peter Warlock, was a British composer and music critic.
The Curlew is a song cycle by Peter Warlock on poems by W. B. Yeats. It is generally considered one of the composer's finest works.
It was written between 1920 and 1922 for singer and an unusual accompanying group of flute, cor anglais and string quartet (two violins, viola and cello). Warlock completed the work in Cefn Bryntalch, his family home in Llandyssil, near Montgomery in Wales.
There are four songs, with a short instrumental interlude. The poems they are based on (with the first line in parentheses) are:

Peter Warlock -- The Curlew (Music for William Butler Yeats Poems)
'The Curlew'-- two excerpts from the song-cycle composed by Peter Warlock; performed by Alexander Young, tenor; Lionel Solomon, flute; Peter Graeme, English horn; and the Sebastian String Quartet; an Argo (UK) Aural Integrity recording, made in 1954, issued in the United States on a Westminster long-play disc, WN18022 or XWN18022.
'Peter Warlock' was the persona adopted by Philip Heseltine (1894-1930, photo), suggestive of the occult practices in which he is said to have dabbled, but necessitated, Heseltine felt, by his being deemed a failure in his true identity. Although deeply involved with music, he had little formal musical training; yet his editing of early English music and his composing, especially his song-writing, belie his background. 'Capriol Suite' is his best-known piece; ...

Peter Warlock - The Curlew, after W. B. Yeats (1920-22)
The Curlew (1920-22)
A song cycle by British composer Peter Warlock, a.k.a. Philip Arnold Heseltine (1894-1930), based on four poems by William Butler Yeats. "The Curlew" is scored for the unusual combination of voice, flute, cor anglais and string quartet.
Text:
I. He reproves of the Curlew (from "The Wind among the Reeds"; 1899)
O Curlew, cry no more in the air,
Or only to the waters in the West;
Because your crying brings to my mind
Passion-dimm'd eyes and long heavy hair
That was shaken out over my breast:
There is enough evil in the crying of wind.
II. The lover mourns for the loss of love (from "The Wind among the Reeds")
Pale brows, still hands and dim hair,
I had a beautiful friend
And dreamed that the old despair
Would end in love in the end:
She looked in my heart one day

6. YEATS - THE FISH & HE REPROVES THE CURLEW - by ROHINTON MOOS
THE FISH
ALTHOUGH you hide in the ebb and flow
Of the pale tide when the moon has set,
The people of coming days will know
About the casting out of my net,
And how you have leaped times out of mind
Over the little silver cords,
And think that you were hard and unkind,
And blame you with many bitter words.
O CURLEW, cry no more in the air,
Or only to the water in the West;
Because your crying brings to my mind
Passion-dimmed eyes and long heavy hair
That was shaken out over my breast:
There is enough evil in the crying of wind.
(1898) The Fish: the faeries of the Goddess Danu appear in the water, beautiful, changeable with silvery eyes to beckon the fishermen into their realm. Curlew: the "West" is symbolic of "the place of sunset, with fading dreaming things", and the "Wind" is associat...

It was written between 1920 and 1922 for singer and an unusual accompanying group of flute, cor anglais and string quartet.
There are four songs, with a short instrumental interlude.
"He Reproves the Curlew" ("O Curlew, cry no more in the air")
"The lover mourns for the loss of love" ("Pale brows, still hands and dim hair")
"The Withering of the Boughs" ("I cried when the moon was murmuring to the birds:")
Interlude
"He Hears the Cry of the Sedge" ("I wander by the edge of this desolate lake")
The first, second and last of these poems were taken from _The Wind Among the Reeds_ (pub. 1899), and "The Withering of the Boughs" from _In the Seven Woods_ (pub. 1904).
There is a lengthy instrumental introduction to the first song, in which the cry of the curlew is represented by the cor anglais and the peewit by the flute. The songs, which concern lost love, are melancholy in mood. A number of motif elements recur throughout the songs dependent on the point in the text - a structural technique also found in many others of Warlock's songs.

There is enough evil in the crying of wind.

And dreamed that the old despair
Would end in love in the end:
She looked in my heart one day
And saw your image was there;
She has gone weeping away.

'The Curlew'-- two excerpts from the song-cycle composed by Peter Warlock; performed by Alexander Young, tenor; Lionel Solomon, flute; Peter Graeme, English horn; and the Sebastian String Quartet; an Argo (UK) Aural Integrity recording, made in 1954, issued in the United States on a Westminster long-play disc, WN18022 or XWN18022.
'Peter Warlock' was the persona adopted by Philip Heseltine (1894-1930, photo), suggestive of the occult practices in which he is said to have dabbled, but necessitated, Heseltine felt, by his being deemed a failure in his true identity. Although deeply involved with music, he had little formal musical training; yet his editing of early English music and his composing, especially his song-writing, belie his background. 'Capriol Suite' is his best-known piece; 'The Curlew' is considered his masterpiece.
'The Curlew' was composed between 1920 and 1922, a setting of four poems by William Butler Yeats--
1) He reproves the curlew [presented in this video], from 'The Wind Among The Reeds', 1899 (Collected Works of W.B. Yeats, Vol. I, The Poems, Macmillan, 1989: Poem No. 54);
2) The lover mourns for the loss of love, from 'The Wind Among The Reeds', 1899 (No. 51);
3) The withering of the boughs, from 'In The Seven Woods', 1904 (No. 82);
4) He hears the cry of the sedge [presented in this video], from 'The Wind Among The Reeds', 1899 (No. 64).
Yeats did not encourage having his words made music. In 1922, the year Warlock was completing his setting, Yeats composed 'A Note on the Setting of These Poems to Music'--
"A musician who would give me pleasure should not repeat a line, or put more than one note to a syllable. I am a poet not a musician, and dislike to have my words distorted or their animation destroyed, even though the musician claims to have expressed their meaning in a different medium."
Nonetheless, in the third line of the first poem Warlock set-- "Because your crying brings to my mind"-- the word 'mi-ind' is divided between two notes. But Yeats has little to complain about. Undeniably a major poet, winner of the 1923 Nobel Prize for Literature, he did not, could not, always create major poetry. Yeats's poems in 'The Curlew' are not major poems, and, if anything, it is Warlock's setting that ennobles them into unforgettability.

"The Curlew", a song cycle by Peter Warlock on poems by William Butler Yeats. It is generally considered one of the composer's finest works.
It was written between 1920 and 1922 for singer and an unusual accompanying group of flute, cor anglais and string quartet.
There are four songs, with a short instrumental interlude.
"He Reproves the Curlew" ("O Curlew, cry no more in the air")
"The lover mourns for the loss of love" ("Pale brows, still hands and dim hair")
"The Withering of the Boughs" ("I cried when the moon was murmuring to the birds:")
Interlude
"He Hears the Cry of the Sedge" ("I wander by the edge of this desolate lake")
The first, second and last of these poems were taken from _The Wind Among the Reeds_ (pub. 1899), and "The Withering of the Boughs" from _In the Seven Woods_ (pub. 1904).
There is a lengthy instrumental introduction to the first song, in which the cry of the curlew is represented by the cor anglais and the peewit by the flute. The songs, which concern lost love, are melancholy in mood. A number of motif elements recur throughout the songs dependent on the point in the text - a structural technique also found in many others of Warlock's songs.

"The withering of the boughs"
I cried when the moon was murmuring to the birds,
Let peewit call and curlew cry where they will,
I long for your merry and tender and pitiful words,
For the roads are unending, and there is no place to my mind.
The honey-pale moon lay low on the sleepy hill,
And I fell asleep upon lonely Echtge of streams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.
I know of the leafy paths the witches take,
Who come with their crowns of pearl and their spindles of wool,
And their secret smile, out of the depths of the lake;
I know where a dim moon drifts, where the Danaan kind
Wind and unwind their dances when the light grows cool
On the island lawns, their feet where the pale foam gleams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.
I know of the sleepy country, where swans fly round
Coupled with golden chains, and sing as they fly.
A king and a queen are wandering there, and the sound
Has made them so happy and hopeless, so deaf and so blind
With wisdom, they wander till all the years have gone by;
I know. and the curlew and peewit on Echtge of streams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.
"He hears the cry of the sedge"
I wander by the edge
Of this desolate lake
Where wind cries in the sedge
"Until the axle break
That keeps the stars in their round,
And hands hurl in the deep
The banners of East and West.
And the girdle of light is unbound,
Your breast will not lie by the breast
Of your beloved in sleep."

"The Curlew", a song cycle by Peter Warlock on poems by William Butler Yeats. It is generally considered one of the composer's finest works.
It was written between 1920 and 1922 for singer and an unusual accompanying group of flute, cor anglais and string quartet.
There are four songs, with a short instrumental interlude.
"He Reproves the Curlew" ("O Curlew, cry no more in the air")
"The lover mourns for the loss of love" ("Pale brows, still hands and dim hair")
"The Withering of the Boughs" ("I cried when the moon was murmuring to the birds:")
Interlude
"He Hears the Cry of the Sedge" ("I wander by the edge of this desolate lake")
The first, second and last of these poems were taken from _The Wind Among the Reeds_ (pub. 1899), and "The Withering of the Boughs" from _In the Seven Woods_ (pub. 1904).
There is a lengthy instrumental introduction to the first song, in which the cry of the curlew is represented by the cor anglais and the peewit by the flute. The songs, which concern lost love, are melancholy in mood. A number of motif elements recur throughout the songs dependent on the point in the text - a structural technique also found in many others of Warlock's songs.

Part 2
"The withering of the boughs"
I cried when the moon was murmuring to the birds,
Let peewit call and curlew cry where they will,
I long for your merry and tender and pitiful words,
For the roads are unending, and there is no place to my mind.
The honey-pale moon lay low on the sleepy hill,
And I fell asleep upon lonely Echtge of streams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.
I know of the leafy paths the witches take,
Who come with their crowns of pearl and their spindles of wool,
And their secret smile, out of the depths of the lake;
I know where a dim moon drifts, where the Danaan kind
Wind and unwind their dances when the light grows cool
On the island lawns, their feet where the pale foam gleams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.
I know of the sleepy country, where swans fly round
Coupled with golden chains, and sing as they fly.
A king and a queen are wandering there, and the sound
Has made them so happy and hopeless, so deaf and so blind
With wisdom, they wander till all the years have gone by;
I know. and the curlew and peewit on Echtge of streams.
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.
"He hears the cry of the sedge"
I wander by the edge
Of this desolate lake
Where wind cries in the sedge
"Until the axle break
That keeps the stars in their round,
And hands hurl in the deep
The banners of East and West.
And the girdle of light is unbound,
Your breast will not lie by the breast
Of your beloved in sleep."

The Curlew (1920-22)
A song cycle by British composer Peter Warlock, a.k.a. Philip Arnold Heseltine (1894-1930), based on four poems by William Butler Yeats. "The Curlew" is scored for the unusual combination of voice, flute, cor anglais and string quartet.
Text:
I. He reproves of the Curlew (from "The Wind among the Reeds"; 1899)
O Curlew, cry no more in the air,
Or only to the waters in the West;
Because your crying brings to my mind
Passion-dimm'd eyes and long heavy hair
That was shaken out over my breast:
There is enough evil in the crying of wind.
II. The lover mourns for the loss of love (from "The Wind among the Reeds")
Pale brows, still hands and dim hair,
I had a beautiful friend
And dreamed that the old despair
Would end in love in the end:
She looked in my heart one day
And saw your image was there;
She has gone weeping away.
III. The withering of the boughs (from "In the Seven Woods"; 1904)
I cried when the moon was murmuring to the birds:
'Let peewit call and curlew cry where they will,
I long for your merry and tender and pitiful words,
For the roads are unending, and there is no place to my mind.'
The honey-pale moon lay low on the sleepy hill,
And I fell asleep upon lonely Echtge or streams.
[Refrain]
No boughs have withered because of the wintry wind;
The boughs have withered because I have told them my dreams.
I know of the leafy paths the witches take
Who come with their crowns of pearl and their spindles of wool,
And their secret smile, out of the depths of the lake;
I know where a dim moon drifts,
where the Danaan kind
Wind and unwind their dances when the light grows cool
On the island lawns, their feet where the pale foam gleams.
[Refrain]
I know of the sleepy country, where swans fly round
Coupled with golden chains, and sing as they fly.
A king and a queen are wandering there,
and the sound
Has made them so happy and hopeless, so deaf and so blind
With wisdom, they wander till all the years have gone by;
I know, and the curlew and peewit on Echtge of streams.
[Refrain]
V. He hears the cry of the sedge (from "The Wind among the Reeds")
I wander by the edge
Of this desolate lake
Where wind cries in the sedge:
Until the axle break
That keeps the stars in their round,
And hands hurl in the deep
The banners of East and West,
And the girdle of light is unbound,
Your breast will not lie by the breast
Of your beloved in sleep.

6. YEATS - THE FISH & HE REPROVES THE CURLEW - by ROHINTON MOOS
THE FISH
ALTHOUGH you hide in the ebb and flow
Of the pale tide when the moon has set,
The people of coming days will know
About the casting out of my net,
And ...
THE FISH
ALTHOUGH you hide in the ebb and flow
Of the pale tide when the moon has set,
The people of coming days will know
About the casting out of my net,
And how you have leaped times out of mind
Over the little silver cords,
And think that you were hard and unkind,
And blame you with many bitter words.
O CURLEW, cry no more in the air,
Or only to the water in the West;
Because your crying brings to my mind
Passion-dimmed eyes and long heavy hair
That was shaken out over my breast:
There is enough evil in the crying of wind.
(1898) The Fish: the faeries of the Goddess Danu appear in the water, beautiful, changeable with silvery eyes to beckon the fishermen into their realm. Curlew: the "West" is symbolic of "the place of sunset, with fading dreaming things", and the "Wind" is associated with faeries of the Sidhe who ride on the wind, as "wind and spirit and vague desire are associated everywhere".
