Now may we singen (Vocal score)

for SATB unaccompaniedSetting a fifteenth-century English text containing some short Latin passages, this is a joyful, dance-like carol with a medieval feel.

The spirited, lilting melody begins in the sopranos and altos but is passed round the choir, while the other voices add stirring harmonies and bell-like drones to the texture.

Now may we singen was originally published in the New Horizons collection The Ivy and the Holly.
