the Bach Flower Remedy:
Crab Apple

Crab Apple: Remedy from the set of the Second Nineteen

About this music

Realised as a song with lyrics by Harriet Edwards and performed several times in version for voice, sax, piano, bass and drums.

A ‘show song’ with an instrumental introduction and an improvised sax solo in the middle. I have plans for a new variation, in which the mid section voice will go higher.

About Crab Apple, the Bach Flower Remedy

People have a feeling ‘as if they had something not quite clean about themselves’. There is a sense that something is wrong and searching for an explanation, people fix upon a trivial concern like the small skin blemish which is most easily seen. A sense of proportion can be lost here.

The little apples will last right through the winter without rotting. The apple is the emblem of health, cleansing and purity as well as knowledge.

Someone unwell feels infected, invaded, as if some poison or foreign entity has taken over the body and corrupted the normal programme of living. A virus does this and so does a cancer.

Crab Apple is the remedy of purification. Purification can range from the simplest act of washing our hands before eating to the most complex rituals of isolation, sacrifice and initiation. The white apple blossom is the purifying light which acts within the Crab Apple remedy.

This account of this Bach Flower Remedy is based on the book Bach Flower Remedies : Form and Function by Julian Barnard.
