Description/Remarks
LL-VG443 SATB "The Lover's Arithmetic" by Paul
Halley, is number VI in the six-song cycle 'Love
Songs For Springtime', composed 1986 for the Ottawa Choral Society, Brian Law, director.
The works in the song cycle are the settings of
traditional English folk texts and each song
describes a different perspective on love. As the
title of this work implies, this song ironically portrays love from an arithmetical perspective.
A samba feel to the rythms and brass interludes add
to the playful theme. A brass seque leads from this
movement into a
reprise of 'The Maypole' in the complete song cycle
with brass accompaniment. Text anon.
Commissioned 1986 by the Ottawa Choral Society,
Brian Law, director.

Texts
The Lover’s Arithmetic
from 'Love Songs
for Springtime'
Text: Traditional English
Music: Paul Halley
In love to be sure what disasters we meet,
What torment, what grief and vexation;
I’ve
crosses encountered my hopes to defeat,
Will
scarcely admit numeration.
I courted a
maid, and I called her divine,
And I begged
she would change her condition;
For I
thought that her fortune united with mine,
Would make a most handsome addition.
Heigh-o, dot and go one, Fal lal de ral do ra.
When married, a plaguy subtraction I found,
Her debts wanted much liquidation;
And we
couldn’t, so badly our wishes were crowned,
Get forward in multiplication.
Division
in wedlock is common they say,
And both
being fond of the suction;
I very soon had
to exclaim, “Lack-a-day!
My fortune’s gone
into reduction.”
Heigh-o, dot and go
one, Fal lal de ral do ra.
The rules of
proportion Dame Nature forgot
When my Deary
she formed, so the fact is,
And she had a
tongue to embitter my lot,
Which she never
could keep out of practice.
One day
after breaking my head with a stool,
Said I,
“Ma’am, if these are your actions,
I’m off;
for you know I’ve been so long at school
I
don’t want to learn vulgar fractions.”
Heigh-o, dot and go one, Fal lal de ral do ra.
