A mixolydian melody becomes the foundation for this stately three-part canon with madrigal style counterpoint. Festive flute and hand drum parts add a Renaissance music touch to a piece with only 12 bars of singing to teach. Ideal for processionals, madrigal feasts, or as a concert opener.

Composer: Sally K. Albrecht
