We are Anglo-Saxons!
An introduction to the Anglo-Saxons…where they came from and the sort of society they created in England.
Song: 'We are Anglo-Saxons!' (Vocal)
We work the fields
And sow the crops
We’ve got great craft skills too.
Wood, metal, glass, pottery and gold
We’re proud of all we do.
Anglo-Saxons!
We’re strong and brave and true!
Anglo-Saxons!
Work hard in all we do!

These were once our homes.
Until we sailed across the sea
And to ‘Angle-land’ did roam!
Anglo-Saxons!
We’re strong and brave and true!
Anglo-Saxons!
Work hard in all we do!
(Girls)
We weave the cloth
Prepare the meals
Make cheese and brew the ale.
(Boys)
We learn to hunt
And use the spear
And how to fish and sail.
Anglo-Saxons!
We’re strong and brave and true!
Anglo-Saxons!
Work hard in all we do!
We love to gather round the fire
On dark and stormy nights
And sing and hear exciting tales
Of great heroic fights!

Alfred the Great
Celebrating Alfred's many achievements, including success against the Vikings, good government through the 'witan', promoting education and creating stability and security.
Song: 'Alfred the Great' (Vocal)
I am a King who found great fame
‘Alfred the Great’ is my name
I reigned from 871 AD
And fought with the Vikings from over the sea.
Vikings, you’d better beware!
Fight with me, if you dare!
I’m a fearsome foe but my rule is fair!
When you hear me coming play a big fanfare!
I fought with the Vikings for many a year
Then I paid them Danegeld to keep the peace
Over North and East I let them reign
And peaceful times returned again.
Vikings, you’d better beware!
Fight with me, if you dare!
I’m a fearsome foe but my rule is fair!
When you hear me coming play a big fanfare!
As a scholar, you’d say I was distinguished
I translated books from Latin into English
I set up schools so children could learn
Education was my big concern.
Vikings, you’d better beware!
Fight with me, if you dare!
I’m a fearsome foe but my rule is fair!
When you hear me coming play a big fanfare!
To help me rule well and fairly govern
It was my idea to set up a Witan
Noblemen and priests who were very wise
Helped me make decisions, gave me good advice.
Vikings, you’d better beware!
Fight with me, if you dare!
I’m a fearsome foe but my rule is fair!
When hear me coming play a big fanfare!
I built great forts known as burghs
Cared for my people, made good laws
Now I’m sure you’ll appreciate
Why I was called ‘Alfred the Great’!
Vikings, you’d better beware!
Fight with me, if you dare!
I’m a fearsome foe but my rule is fair!
When hear me coming play a big fanfare!
Vikings, you’d better beware!
Fight with me, if you dare!

Grendel
A song linking to the first part of the story and telling how the monster Grendel nightly terrorises the Danish people.
Song: 'Grendel' (Vocal)
Hrothgar the King
Was proud of his achievements
Wanted the world to know of his name
Built a great hall and named it Heorot
A powerful symbol of his wealth and fame.
And there was singing
And dancing
And lots of joyful celebrating
As Hrothgar watched his eyes began to shine
‘No one’s going to spoil…this party of mine!’
But out on the moors
Someone wasn’t invited
Grendel the monster
Awoke in a rage
Hearing the noise of all the happy celebrations
He let out a roar of fury and pain!
And when the guests were asleep
Grendel rose from the deep
Greedy and grim, gruesome and tall
He attacked and ransacked
Hrothgar’s mead hall!
Part 1
Mighty King, what shall we do?
Broken, stunned and shocked are we,
Numb with grief, for what we’ve lost.
Heorot is no longer free.
Part 2
Twelve winters ed…
News of the crime reached the ears of Beowulf
King of the Geats, he was handsome and strong
Eager to help, he crossed the sea in a long boat
Took a troop of his best warriors along.
‘Can we stay the night?
Give that fiend a fright!’
Music and laughter filled the night air
Until it reached Grendel…
Wide awake in his lair!

Beowulf's song
A song for the hero Beowulf, arriving in Denmark from Geatland to help Hrothgar and his people against the monster, Grendel.
Song: 'Beowulf's song' (Vocal)
‘Hrothgar, your highness,
What can we do?
We’ve sailed across the ocean
In our longboat to help you!
Hrothgar, your highness,
Great leader of the Danes
We need to be prepared
For when the monster strikes again!
So tonight we’ll have a celebration
Then pretend to go to sleep
And Grendel’s bound to hear all the commotion
And rise up from the deep.
Hrothgar, your highness,
I’ve heard about your plight
How your great hall, Heorot,
Lies empty every night.
Hrothgar your highness,
I’ve come to your defence
I’m a match for Grendel
With my superhuman strength!
So tonight we’ll have a celebration
Then pretend to go to sleep
And Grendel’s bound to hear all the commotion
And rise up from the deep.
Hrothgar, your highness,
There’s no need to take flight
We’re ready for the monster
We’re ready for the fight!
Hrothgar, your highness,
Take my sword and shield
Hand to hand is how I’ll fight
My strength will make him yield!
So tonight we’ll have a celebration
Then pretend to go to sleep
And Grendel’s bound to hear all the commotion
And rise up from the deep.’
Sure enough, as Beowulf said
Just that very night
Grendel burst into the hall
A truly loathsome sight!
Beowulf’s men drew their swords
But they fought in vain
No earthly blade, from blacksmith made,
Could the monster slay!
Beowulf leapt onto the back
Of his mighty foe
Grendel swung him round and round
But he would not let go!
He gripped so hard
That Grendel screamed
In panic and alarm
He wrenched free from the hero’s grasp
But Beowulf kept his arm!
Song: 'Beowulf's song' (Children's choir)

The revenge of Grendel's mother
A song for Grendel's mother, wishing vengeance on those responsible for the death of her son, Grendel.
Song: 'The revenge of Grendel's mother' (Vocal)
Joyful celebrations ring out in the cold night air
Grendel the monster is dead and gone
But something still lurks out there…
That night in the swamp a monster was prowling
Another great troll, fearsome and tall
Full of revenge for the loss of her son
Grendel’s mother approached the hall.
Who killed my son?
Who killed my son?
I will thrash him and beat him!
And crush him! Defeat him!
Who killed my son?
With a great roar, she entered the hall
Killed all the soldiers asleep in her in her path
Beowulf awoke to see her departing
Followed her back to her home in the marsh.
Who killed my son?
Who killed my son?
I will thrash him and beat him!
And crush him! Defeat him!
Who killed my son?
Beowulf put on his helmet and armour
Took a deep breath, knew he had to be brave
Jumped into the bog of murky green water
Fearlessly swam till he came to a cave.
Who killed my son?
Who killed my son?
I will thrash him and beat him!
And crush him! Defeat him!
Who killed my son?
Out of the shadows rushed Grendel’s mother
Blazing with fury she let out a cry
Beowulf discovered his own sword was powerless
Summoned his strength and cast it aside.
You killed my son!
You killed my son!
I will thrash you and beat you!
And crush you! Defeat you!
You killed my son!
Beowulf looked round, desperately searching
Knew in a moment that he would be dead
Grabbed the troll’s sword
Swung it round blindly
Lifted it high…
And cut off her head!
You killed my son…
You killed my son…
Joyful celebrations ring out in the cold night air
And now nothing lurks
Out in the marsh anymore.

The end of the Anglo-Saxon dynasty
A song telling the story of 1066 - Harold Godwinson's accession to the throne, his victory at Stamford Bridge…and defeat at the Battle of Hastings.
Song: 'The end of the Anglo-Saxon dynasty' (Vocal)
Let us now return
To English history
And find out what becomes
Of the Anglo-Saxon dynasty.
Edward the Confessor dies
But sadly leaves no heir
Three men want to take his crown
Of them let’s be aware.
Chorus:
The times are always changing
Nothing stays the same
No Anglo-Saxon sovereign
Will ever rule again.
No Anglo-Saxon sovereign
Will ever rule again.
Harold, Earl of Wessex,
Was crowned the next new King
But he and his ers knew
Great trouble it would bring.
Hardrada, King of Norway,
Wanted the English crown,
And William, Duke of Normandy,
Just would not back down.
Chorus
Harold expected trouble
He knew there would be war
So his army waited in the south
Standing on the shore.
Then news came that the Vikings
Had landed in the north
So Harold rushed to meet them there
And took them all by force!
Chorus
The Vikings were defeated
But then the bad news came
The Normans had landed in the south
Harold rushed back there again.
At the Battle of Hastings
In 1066 AD
Harold was killed and William crowned King
Making history.
