Summary

Landing somewhere in-between a church anthem and a vocal jazz quartet, this playful take on a Medieval text captures the energy of a storyteller related an old tale to children. The piece is full of syncopations that stress the natural rhythm of the words, and it will find great success with collegiate or professional choirs looking to explore a less contemplative approach to this classic poem.
