Sweet was the Song the Virgin Sung
SATB a cappella
Duration, c.3'
This simple and appealing setting og Sweet was the Song captures the renaissance character of the text whilst adding a fresh, modern twist. Suitable for choirs both professional and amateur, it would make a beautiful addition to a Christmas concert or carol service, and provide a touching moment of reflection during Midnight Mass.
Text: William Ballet‘s Lute Book in Library of Trinity College, Dublin, c.1600
