The ‘VOCES8 singles’ series includes songs for which the group is particularly well known, in choral arrangements produced specifically for VOCES8.
This beautiful folk song was commissioned as part of our fifth anniversary celebrations in 2012, and was included in our EP ‘In the Beginning’ and on our US concert tour. It has always been a fun challenge to perform, with gorgeous flowing lines and a great opening solo for the bass. Our annual visit to sing for friends in the Shenandoah Valley is never complete without a rendition of this arrangement; performing it at Abbey Road Studios (a link to the film can be found below) was also an unforgettable experience.
