I sing of a maiden (SSS/A)
This setting of the fifteenth century text I sing of a Maiden balances a sense of ancient modality with a contemporary folk twist which should have broad appeal to singers young and old. An initial lyrical melody and a counter melody combine to create accessible and effective harmonies, with a third simple harmonic line adding interest to the final two verses. Irregular time signatures allow the singers to pay particular attention to the flow of this ancient text. (Amy Bebbington)
