Performances
There are several performances of 'Welcome Joy and Welcome Sorrow' on the various streaming services. Here are links to performances by Clare College choir and The Sixteen on YouTube. The links are to the first track (Welcome Joy...) - you can then find Teignmouth and Dawlish using the track listing in YouTube.
Background info
There is some interesting background on Young Beichan on Wikipedia. Of the many variants of the original ballad's lyrics this one seems closest to our score.
Here are the rest of the words to Over the Hill and Over the Dale, Keats' rather bawdy poem about Dawlish Fair. More information, including the original handwritten letter containing the verse, can be found here. Thanks to Carol Robinson for spotting these!
