Carols
of North Cornwall The following notes refer to carols in the programme. The late Andrew Jewell, who was the son of our former President Ethel (Saunders) Jewell, donated a collection of carols to our society for us to ensure that a record of a local tradition would survive.These had been sung by generations of his family at Stratton. In addition, Mike Richardson, organist of Kilkhampton church, has researched and revived many carols known in our area. 'Glory, Glory in the Highest' and 'We'll Never Say Goodbye' are two of the many versions of 'While Shepherds' and take their titles from the words of the choruses. 'Whence Those Sounds Symphonious' is known locally as the Kilkhampton Carol and up until recently the words and tune were thought to be from the North Cornwall region, but Mike Richardson has found a pamphlet indicating that the words were written by Thomas Kelly 1769-1855, an Irish Anglican priest-----so maybe the tune is from N.Cornwall 'Behold the Grace Appears' known locally as the Morwenstow Carol was sung regularly by the Chowill/Tape family of Coombe Mill who were the core of Morwenstow Band 'Welcome That Star' words by Rev Stephen Hawker and music by Thomas Faithful Ash who was choirmaster at Stratton Church in the early 19th century 'Modrep Maria' (Aunt Mary) words by Hawker again, recently set to music by one of our members Rev George Rowe (Jori) 'Flaming Seraphs' ie 'Hark the Music of the Cherubs' seems to be well known throughout the West Country These are some of the carols from our Records. Audrey E Aylmer Recorder Michael Richardson and George Rowe invite you to sing!
