Original

Setting a fifteenth-century English text containing some short Latin passages, Now May We Singen 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.
