Maria walks amid the thorn (No 1 of Three Upper-voice Carols)

for SSA and piano or harp. This is a beautifully crafted setting of a medieval German text. The composer’s simple but effective writing underscores perfectly the quietly wondrous nature of the text, the gentle ‘Kyrie eleison’ refrain providing a poignant commentary throughout. The harp part (which includes all three carols in the set) is available from Banks Music Publications for sale under the title Three Upper-voice Carols. Suitable for Advent and Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Published: 2003. Duration: 3 minutes. Difficulty: very easy/easy.

Programme Notes:

This is number 1 in a trio of carols for upper voice choir and piano or harp. The other two works are The holly and the ivy and Jesus Christ the Apple Tree.
