Programme Note

City Solstice celebrates the 800th anniversary of the construction of various bridges  on the siteof thecurrent London Bridge. The difficulty of erecting sturdy  constructions on this bend in the Thames, where the currents are particularly  strong, has led to a rich seam of stories about the bridges, passedonthrough  history, myth and folklore.
What are thought to be the original words of 'London  Bridge is falling down' carry much of the references to materials used in building the original bridges - wood andstone, gravel and stone, and then later, iron and steel. The lines my fair lady,  dance over my lady lea (or lee) and<spanstyle='font-style:italic;'> with a gay lady, are thought to refer to Matilda of  Scotland (c.1080- 1118), consort of Henry I, and who was responsible for  building the series of bridges that carried the London toColchester roadacross the River Lea.
King (Saint) Olaf II of Norway figures prominently in the destruction of the bridge  after its occupation by the Danes around 1013. Coming to the assistance of Aethelred, Olaf isthought to havepulled the bridge down into the Thames, along  with its occupying Danes, rather than fight on the bridge itself. There is a line in the  Norse saga The Heimskringlathat refers to
