Subject: Beer/wine compilation

Dear Listmembers,

well, the result was not *that* good I expected, but there are already some
ideas what I make a compilation of. Many thanks to Tom Cunningham, Attila
Török, Dave Singer, Kevin Hildebrand, Tom Lumb, Paul Sinasohn, Gary
Weidenaar, Jaakko Mantyjarvi, Ross Bernhadt, Judith Conrad, Julia Millen,
David Wayne Anderson, Jonathan Veenker, John Hylton, Randall Davidson and
David Griggs-Janower for their help.
On the other hand, it is still *not late* for more ideas (opera choruses,
non-vocal compositions, well-known traditional/folk songs, convivial songs,
classical poetry...) - I would be delighted to make another compilation!
Several people had asked for the wine-song compilation -- since it was
basically for TTB, I complete the list with some SATB-pieces.

Beer in music:
Bring us in good Ale - John Rutter (absolute winner!) published by Oxford
Matona mia cara - O. Lassus, the English translation speaks about stout.
Drinking song from Sir John in Love (Walton?)
Wassail song - diff. arrangements, incl. Vaughan Williams
Down Among the Dead Men - Vaughan Williams arr.
Students' drinking song - Student Prince movie/operetta (?)
The Barley Mow - old English song
What shall we do with a drunken sailor
Lumberjack choruses (??) - for Anheuser Busch, by R. Davidson
Een Bier, een Bier - Ludivocus Episcopius, Tetra Music Corp (ABI Alexander
Broude, AB 846
"Biergesangel" in 3/8, with text:"Das Bier, daß nicht getrunken wird", very
fast, a cappella (composer? publisher?)
J.S.Bach: choirs from the Bauernkantate
Opening scene in Act II of Smetana's The Bartered Bride
Jones's Ale - in: A Revels Garden of Song, John Langstaff, available from
Shawnee Press
The Chester Book of Madrigals, Smoking and Drinking, ed. by Anthony Petti;
Chester Music - J & W Chester/Edition Wilhelm Hansen London Ltd, - the most
proper source for both beer- and wine-songs!

There is an excellent searchable sourse of fol-song words (mainly English,
but not all) called the Mudcat Cafe and its URL is:

idea whether it is published? Where?)
