Peter Warlock - Piggésnie

Copied!

She is so proper and so pure
Full steadfast, stable and demure
There is none such, ye may be sure
As my sweet sweeting

When I behold my sweeting sweet
Her face, her hands, her minion feet
They seem to me there's none so meet
As my sweet sweeting

In all this world, as thinketh me
Is none so pleasant to my eye
That I am so glad so oft to see
As my sweet sweeting

Above all other praise must I
And love my pretty piggesnie
For none I find so womanly
As my sweet sweeting

Biography

edit bio

The British music critic Philip Heseltine (1894-1930) used the pseudonym of “Peter Warlock” for all his published efforts as a composer. After a failed career as a student, Heseltine fell into music criticism and became known as a combative critic under his own name. He also gained a reputation as an exhibitionist and student of Celtic culture and occult practices. The name of Peter Warlock came about as a result of the latter.

Most of Warlock’s music is for the human voice, either solo or choral, although his orchestral Capriol Suite is one of his most popular works. Heseltine died as a result of asphyxiation from coal gas, a probable suicide.
