About this arrangement

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1304503 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Lloyd Buck. Advent,Christmas,Holiday,Religious,Traditional. 2 pages. Lloyd Buck #893995. Published by Lloyd Buck (A0.1304503). There are two generally known versions of Coventry Carol, the often performed 4 part version arranged by Martin Shaw, and the original 1591 version, which is only in 3 parts.Musically, I always preferred the 1591 version, with it's false relations and irregular metre. Unfortunately, when you direct a SATB choir, this is not so easily performed, and directors by default perform the Shaw arrangement. I therefore arranged the 3 part harmonisation of 1591 into 4 parts, keeping the irregular metre and false relations of the original, whilst filling in some of the harmony. The result is a version which works in 4 parts, but keeps the feel of the original 1591 setting.
