about

Staines Morris

The lyrics to this were first printed as ‘The Maypole Song’ in 1656 from a stage play Acteon and Diana by Robert Cox. The words were joined to its current tune (Staines Morris from Playfords Dancing Master) much later in 1859 by Broadside printer William Chappell and printed as such in his ‘Popular Music of The Olden Time’. My feeling is the courtly mood of the melody lends this song an audacious, Titania like call to spirits of nature with a note of hurry up the time is now! Having seen David Tibet’s mesmerising performance at a recent concert both Gerry & I felt he would fit perfectly with the energy of this version and feel blessed he obliged.
