Maria Walks amid the Thorn

for SSA and piano or harp No. 1 of Three upper-voice carols, 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 for sale.
