Live performance of the Dutch traditional Het Viel een Hemels Dauwe by Legiana Collective
We really appreciate how sneaky and forward this song is, seeing as it was already sung in the fifteen hundreds and pops up throughout the centuries. The opening sentence: 't Viel een Hemels Dauwe' can be found even earlier and refers to the heavenly dew drops that were responsible for the immaculate conception. We are no historians, but we think the lyricist of this song knew what he was doing when he took this religious expression out of context.
Our version closely follows the wording of the earliest known notation from the 1544 "Antwerps Liedboek", titled 'an old little song'. The protagonist in the story is in love with a woman whom he asks to appear before her window, but he makes it all the way into her bedroom. When the dawn breaks they have to plead with the watch not to call them out.
The song combines a "Meilied" (Maysong) about themes of love, and a "Wachterlied" (Watchsong). Watch songs or daybreak songs referred to watchmen announcing the dawn or the opening of the citygates, and particularly to warn suitors. You can hear the watchman's horn in the instrumental, as a trumpet part on the album and a sung part in this live version.
