Did you ever sing this Christmas carol and wonder why that refrain was there? It always seemed wrong to me. When I started researching it I discovered why. The “rising of the sun and the running of the deer” refrain was added long after the carol was written. I took it out.
Alle Psallite Cum Luya
This is my favorite motet. I have seen many settings, but none that built up the parts the way I wanted to preform it.
Three Susato Dances
I wanted to perform some of the Susato dances without flipping pages to find them, so I set these three together. The salterelle is often played after the ronde with the same melody, but I thought it would be more interesting to play another ronde between them.
From Heaven Above To Earth I Come
I arranged this Martin Luther hymn for a commission. My patron wanted a German Christmas carol that could be sung by the congregation.
Come Away, Come Sweet Love
This John Dowland song is one of my favorite to perform.
This is my documentation for the arrangement: Documentation – Come Away
The setting I use is here: Come Away Come Sweet Love
