Susanni


based on traditional German carols

English translation by Martin Shaw


arranged by Sheena Phillips

for SATB chorus and folk harp


SATB  performance time approx  2m 30s











Arranger's note



This carol is actually derived from two German carols : the words of the verses come from a carol whose original tune is unknown, while the tune and chorus come from the 17th century rocking carol 'Von himmel hoch'.

‘Susanni’ comes from ‘Suse, Ninne!’ or ‘Sleep, child!’

A recording by the Magpie Consort, on the Christmas CD All hayle to the days , can be ordered securely from www.magpieconsort.org

 Words 



Susanni




A little child there is y-born,

Eia, eia, susanni, susanni, susanni

And he sprang out of Jesse’s thorn,

Alleluya, alleluya 

To save all us that were forlorn.


Now Jesus is the childès name,

And Mary mild she is his dame,

And so our sorrow is turned to gain.


It fell upon the high midnight,

The stars they shone both fair and bright,

The angels sang with all their might.



English translation by Martin Shaw (1875 – 1958) from The Oxford Book of Carols
