Cruel Mother for three voices (SSA) a traditional ballad arranged by Sarah Dacey. Duration: 4 minutes Composed: 2008 Also published as part of UYMP's Songspin Songbook ISMN M 57036 603 3. This is a very old cautionary ballad that like many folk tales has no definite origin there being many different versions from around Europe. I shifted the tonality of the melody from the Cecil Sharp arrangement to something slightly less cheery. First performed by Juice Vocal Ensemble in December 2008 at St. James Piccadilly London.
