Program Notes
Picardy is a hymn tune used in Christian churches, based on a French carol; it is in a minor key and its meter is 8.7.8.7.8.7. Its name comes from the province of France from where it is thought to have originated. The tune dates back at least to the 17th century, and was originally used for the folk song jésus-Christ s’habille en pauvre. First published in the 1848 collection Chansons popularies des provences de France, Picardy was most famously arranged by Ralph Vaughan Williams in 1906 for the hymn Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence. This setting presents the melody in both major and minor modes.
