Pronunciation and glossary

I come from hevin heich to tell the best nowells that e'er befell.

To you thir tythings trew I bring and I will of them say and sing: This day to you is born ane Child of Marie meik and Virgin mild.

That blissit bairn bening and kind sall you rejoyce baith hart and mind.

"Balulalow" should rhyme with "now" (so that it rhymes with "bow" in the last couplet).

If there is doubt about the pronunciation of a word, it may be pronounced to match the modern English equivalent. This is an approximation of Scots pronunciation (words which are pronounced as they look - e.g. war, wharin, sa - are omitted):

Lat us rejoyis [now] and be blyth and with the Hyrdis go full swyth, and see what Godis grace hes done throu Christ to bring us to his throne.

My saull and life, stand up and see wha lyis in ane cribbe of tree.

What Babe is that, sa gude and fair?

It is Christ, Godis Son and Air. The silk and sandell thee to eis ar hay and sempill sweilling clais wharin thou gloris greitest King as thou in hev'n war in thy ring.

And war the warld ten times sa wide cled ouer with gold and stanes of pride unworthie yit it were to thee under they feet ane stule to be.

O my deir hart, yung Jesus sweit, prepair thy creddill in my spreit!

And I sall rock thee in my hart and never mair fra thee depart.

Bot I sall praise thee evermoir with sangis sweit unto thy gloir.

The kneis of my hart sall I bow and sing that rycht Balulalow.

v.1: heich: "hee", then a ch as in loch (high) Marie: same as English "Mary" meik: as English "meek" bening: "ben" then ing as in "ring" (benign) sall: as if it was the opening syllable of "Sally" v.2: Lat: as written (let) rejoyis: as "rejoice", but with the diphthong partly split into two syllables; "rih-jaw-ees". blyth: as English "blithe" swyth: rhymes with "blithe" (swift) throu: same as "through" gude: same as "good" Air: same as "heir" (the h is silent) v.3: eis: ay-ees (ease) sweilling: swee-ling (swaddling) clais: clay-ees (clothes) greitest: gree-test (greatest) ouer: ah-oor (ow'r, over) stule: same as "stool" v.4: sweit: same as "sweet" spreit: spreet (spirit) evermoir: same as "evermore" sangis: "sang-is" (songs) gloir: rhymes with "more" (glory) kneis: same as "knees" rycht: richt (i sound as in lift, ch sound as in loch) (right, appropriate)

The notes in boxes are to be sung in any order, freely, being repeated as required, by each member of the section, ad lib. Bring in each note pp, with a swell in the middle (volume should never be more than mp, usually p), and fade it off with a diminuendo; leave a slight rest before the next note. The crotchet speed should be similar to the soloists' speed. Any rests are entirely ad lib.

(niente) The conductor should give a signal about 10" before he/she wishes the piece to end; at this point, everyone should make their next syllable "low" (on the notes of a D major chord, entering individually within 1-3 seconds of the conductor's signal), and fade off gradually on that syllable.
