This particular setting was composed with a small mixed-ability choir in mind, so the VOICES are mainly in two parts (men's and women's VOICES), splitting to four parts (SATB) occasionally, where the words suggest it. The musical style is reminiscent of the 19th century although the piano part does go into 20th century style syncopation at times.  

Recorded on April 29, 2012 using a Flip Video camera.

Poignant harmonies. Expressive lyricism. Groovy syncopation. This is truly a modern setting of the Song of Mary! Turn it up for the best experience!!
