Description

A Short canonic introduction and ending frame three simple pentatonic settings of this old English folk melody. First a simple statement of the melody, then on to slowly shifting harmonies over a simple drone accompaniment, and thirdly a broadening with fuller voicing of the melody. A good choice for prelude or offertory any time of the year. This quartet setting is meticulously scored with helpful instructions written into the music. Set on only two pages–repeats and cue notes have been utilized to avoid this page turn issue. 35 measures with repeats. Scored in eb minor.
