Description:
This treatment of the traditional English folk song is refreshingly different. There is a vitality to the rhythmic motion, and the harmonic richness brings a new perspective to this quiet melody. Verse 3 features an SSA descant, if you have the forces, but it can be sung without it. For brass choir (also optional) and organ.
The percussion part is for suspended cymbal and tubular bells.
