Spell Songs is a musical companion piece to The Lost Words: A Spell
Book by author Robert Macfarlane and artist Jackie Morris. This
mixed media CD is accompanied by sumptuous illustrations from
Jackie Morris, new 'spells' by Robert Macfarlane, enlightening
thoughts by Robert, Jackie and Spell Singer Karine Polwart and
stunning photography by Elly Lucas. In 2018 Folk by the Oak
Festival commissioned Spell Songs because of their love of The Lost
Words book. Spell Songs comprises eight remarkable musicians whose
music engages deeply with landscape and nature; musicians who are
perfectly placed to respond to the creatures, art and language of
The Lost Words. They spent a week in Herefordshire bringing this
music together in the company of Jackie Morris. Art inspired music
and music inspired art. Jackie Morris immersed herself in the
musical residency where she generously created new iconesque
artwork of each musician and their instruments portrayed in an
unexpected and enchanting way. These stunning new artworks
accompany the CD. Spell Songs allowed these acclaimed and diverse
musicians to weave together elements of British folk music,
Senegalese folk traditions, and experimental and classical music to
create an inspiring new body of work. Here are 14 songs which
capture the essence of The Lost Words book. Spoken voice, whispers,
accents, dialects, native languages, proverbs, sayings, birdsong,
river chatter and insect hum all increase the intimacy of the
musical world conjured by the songs. Inspired by the words, art and
ethos of The Lost Words book, each musician brings new imaginings,
embellishments and diversions which are rooted in personal
experience, a deep respect for the natural world, protest at the
loss of nature and its language and an appreciation for wildness
and beauty. In February 2019 Spell Songs enjoyed standing ovations
at sell-out performances in major venues across the UK culminating
at The Queen Elizabeth Hall at the Southbank Centre, London. Spell
Songs was a highlight of The Hay International Literary Festival
2019 and in August 2019 they were invited to perform at the BBC's
Lost Words Prom in the Royal Albert Hall. They will continue to
tour each year. "There are songs here that would live with me for
the rest of my years, even if I'd had no part in their making".

Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), an executive at Macy's department
store, believes in taking a common-sense approach to life and is
consequently raising her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood) not to
believe in Santa Claus. This year however, the convictions of both
mother and child are challenged when the kindly old man (Edmund
Gwenn) hired as the store Santa insists that he is in fact the real
thing. No one believes him, some even think he's insane, but he is
willing to go to court to prove his case. Oscars were won by Edmund
Gwenn (Best Supporting Actor) and George Seaton (Best Screenplay)
and the film was remade in 1994 with Richard Attenborough in the
lead.
