This song describes the fall of Adam and Eve from Eden. Dated to c. 1400, it is a middle English song, though the accompanying music has been lost.
Notably, it resists the impulse to place the blame of the fall on Eve. Here Adam’s taking the apple is listed as the cause of the fall, and Eve is never mentioned.
There are a variety of choral arrangements for this song, the best known being Boris Ord’s setting. It is performed at King’s College Cambridge as part of their Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. It is also performed in a less choral arrangement by the Mediaeval Baebes.
