about

Traditional, arr. by Kerry Andrew

'The Hunting Of The Wren' or 'The Cutty Wren' is a very old song dating from the 1300s or earlier. It was originally about the traditional sacrifice of 'the king of the birds' on St. Stephen's Day, or Wren Day (now our Boxing Day), which was thought to bring good luck for the coming year, and has its roots in the Bronze Age. The song has also been attributed to the Peasant's Revolt of 1381, with the wren representing Richard II. In his book ‘The Restoration of Cock Robin’, Norman Iles suggests that the ritual was actually about catching a woman.
