General Information
Title: Green thorn of the hill of ghosts
Composer: John Wall Callcott
Lyricist: Ossian
Number of voices: 4vv Voicing: ATTB
Genre: Secular, Partsong
Language: English
Instruments: a cappella (originally). Piano accompaniment added by William Horsley (1774-1858).

Description: A four part glee. In Horsley’s edition Ossian’s “windy skirt” has been changed to “shadowy form”. Horsley may have regarded the image of a windy skirt, anticipating by 150 years Marilyn Monroe’s famous scene in “The seven year itch”, to be too indecent for the readership of Callcott’s collected works.

Text from "Temora" by "Ossian" ((James Macpherson (1736-1796))
Green thorn of the hill of ghosts, that shakest thy head to nightly winds! I hear no sound in thee, is there no spirit's windy skirt [shadowy form] now rustling in thy leaves? Often are the steps of the dead, in the dark-eddying blasts; when the moon, a dun shield, from the east is rolled along the sky.
