Music Man Style
In the original Wicker Man was the music original or was it based on old folk ballads?
I just re-watched this film (after many years and much younger age) and was struck by the music as some of it sounded like original music done in a folk style. While other songs could have been old folk ballads such as the Pub scene where the patrons start singing a melody about “Landlords daughter”.
Others where old nursery rhymes such as Baa, Baa, Black Sheep
Yes, those are folk songs though a couple vary from their original forms. This is a wonderful soundtrack that I’d love to have. Some folk songs are VERY bawdy!
Sadly, I’ve never found a version of the film that includes both nights Howie stays at the inn. There is a second song for when a man from the village brings his son to be~ahem~deflowered by the “landlord’s daughter”. Back in the Eighties, USA Channel ran that scene instead of the one with nudity, which usually is included. Why they don’t have both scenes I’ll never understand.
Here’s “The Landlord’s Daughter” on YouTube:

Strangely, these are the only songs listed at IMDb:
Corn Rigs
Written by Paul Giovanni
Sung by Paul Giovanni
NOTE: It may be claiming that he wrote this, but I think he adapted it instead from this: Corn Rigs Ane Bonny.
Gently Johnny (aka Gently, Johnny, My Jingalo)
Sung by Paul Giovanni
I have been a “song catcher” since childhood. I was able to expand my collection when I started attending reenactment events. I play the bowed psaltery and am always looking for folk and ethnic music.
WOW! I just found out that they might have the music put together in an album! You can read about it here, where they also list all of the songs used in the 1973 film:

Maybe I can track down a copy after all! So, if you hadn’t asked this question, I might not have thought to look for a soundtrack. Thanks! // If you are interested, I tracked it to Amazon for a variety of prices:

Music For The Common Man $63.32 In the 1930s, Aaron Copland began to write in an accessible style he described as imposed simplicity. Works like El Salon Mexico, Billy the Kid, Lincoln Portrait, and Appalachian Spring feature a tuneful idiom that brought the composer unprecedented popular success and came to define an American sound. Yet the cultural substance of that sound–the social and political perspective that might be heard within these familiar pieces–has until now been largely overlooked. While it has long been acknowledged that Copland subscribed to leftwing ideals, Music for the Common Man is the first sustained attempt to understand some of Copland’s best-known music in the context of leftwing social, political, and cultural currents of the Great Depression and Second World War. Musicologist Elizabeth Crist argues that Copland’s politics never merely accorded with mainstream New Deal liberalism, wartime patriotism, and Communist Party aesthetic policy, but advanced a progressive vision of American society and culture. Copland’s music can be heard to accord with the political tenets of progressivism in the 1930s and ’40s, including a fundamental sensitivity toward those less fortunate, support of multiethnic pluralism, belief in social democracy, and faith that America’s past could be put in service of a better future. Crist explores how his works wrestle with the political complexities and cultural contradictions of the era by investing symbols of America–the West, folk song, patriotism, or the people–with progressive social ideals. While much has been written on the relationship between politics and art in the 1930s and ’40s, very little of that attention has been aimed at the world of concert music.Music for the Common Man offers fresh insights on familiar pieces and the political context in which they emerged. |
