for SSAA and pianoAn attractive and moving setting of a refreshingly thought provoking 17th-century carol text. The choral lines are easy, clothing the words with great sensitivity and supported by a simple and atmospheric piano accompaniment.
Alan Bullard (b.1947)
"What captures my interest most of all about this setting is the wonderful melody with which the piece opens. Modal in character, simple in line and shape this adds a true simplicity that colours the music so superbly. . . . For a Christmas carol service, in church acoustics, this could be a very effective choice." - Music Teacher March 2001
"By the same composer is a lovely setting for SSA of a seventeenth-century text by George Wither. It has a haunting melody and, although divisi upper voices will stretch some choirs, it is not too difficult." - CMQ October 2000
