Northumbrian Folk Songs - Percy Snowdon

John Kilpatrick, 135 Twentywell Lane, Sheffield S17 4QA

[email protected]

Percy Snowdon's original expression, beaming, punctuation and other preferences have, where possible, been retained in this edition.

The scores were set in Overture, and the cover sheets in Word, and were collated and converted to pdf using FinePrint and FinePrint pdfFactory.

Other works by Percy Snowdon available separately:

Ave Maria

Betelgeuse

Mendlessohn's motet "Denn er hat seinen Engeln" arranged for unaccompanied voices.

Percy Snowdon (1930-1983) Percy was a Senior Lecturer in Linguistics at Sheffield City Polytechnic (now Sheffield Hallam University), with a keen interest in his subject paralleled by a strong musical talent and a deep love of his native Northumberland. In 1966 he founded the Sheffield Motet Singers, conducting them until his death of a heart attack in 1983; the choir remained active until 2001.

He first penned music in 1975, with his unaccompanied setting of Mendlessohn's "Denn er hat seinen Engeln" from Elijah. His folk song arrangements were first performed in 1983, after their conception inspired by a Northumbrian holiday. Before his sudden and unexpected death he went on to compose an "Ave Maria" and the hauntingly beautiful "Betelgeuse".

John Kilpatrick, from notes by Margaret Snowdon.
