Noel Noel Noel bells ring out with joy! No wraps No festooned curtains spread to shield The child from frost nothing but flimsy spider webs trail from The beams aloft. He shivers in that cold stable this Jesus child so dear, and so to warm him in The cradle, The ass and ox draw near. The snow hangs down in lacy fringe. But far above The heavens swell reveal The angel choir that sings to men Noel Noel  less

The work is a melancholic love song that is based on a folk like melody underlined by a constant pedal point, resembling The sound of bagpipes.

We considered ourselves to be in a sort of nomansland sociologically, each for different reasons, but The Vosges valleys provided The most beautiful "nomansland" imaginable for our discussions. This song is The slightly mystical, and somewhat understated, memory of those days: Here in nomansland where all had fled The weaTher we waited patiently and enjoyed God's sun togeTher Here in nomansland a grandson of Adam residing in his earthly grandfaTher's home The woods and sun presiding Here in nomansland Hermes' and Aphrodite's son sings cuckoo to The ill-shorn mountain top and Then is gone Here in nomansland we sing to The oTher's consolation whilst peaceful dog and cows look on at our natural perchance divine oration  less

At first sight it is a simple sentimental piece, but beneath it lies a history of pure imagination, enchantment and impossibility. The composer already realises he is no longer feeling what he is writing, he is just weaving a spell, over an ostinato guitar motif, to try to bring The feelings back (hence The title "Incantation"). He has found in his life that whenever he writes a song for The object of his desire, he has already begun to stop feeling that desire ... it is a sign that The relationship is about to change or disappear. But The whole thing is indeed enchantment and magic: you can dream and you can take The song at face value if you wish.  less
