for Soprano solo and SSAA (with divisions) unaccompanied This gentle arrangement for a cappella choir of the well-known fifteenth-century carol conjures a restful but evocatively melancholy atmosphere. The texture is varied by the use of a soprano soloist, while the harmonies move with purpose and piquancy. A version for unaccompanied mixed voices with soprano or baritone soloist is also available.
