This five-Voice setting uses poignant word-painting to bring the "sorrow of sorrows" from the Book of Lamentations to life. It remains one of the most intimate and emotionally raw works in the sacred choral repertoire.

This a-cappella 4-Voice version uses three altos and one bass, a cappella. It explores a couple of alternative modes for the theme: Octatonic and Dorian.
Singing of folia this old tune repeats all day
and even in the new Octatonic mode
we can sing folia all the day long in this five time
and we sing it in Octatonic mode
madness all is madness while we're singing of la folia
and in five time and Octatonic mode
can't leave off la folia it will drive me round the bend soon
and I'll shortly change to some other mode
Sing it in the Dorian sing it in the Dorian
oh I love the Dorian it makes me dream on less
