This suite is a setting of six anonymous sacred and secular English lyrics dating from the 14th and 15th centuries. For me, a great part of their beauty lies in their touching simplicity and directness of expression. The voicing varies as follows: I Singe of a Mayden (SATB); Adam Lay Ybounden (SATB); Westron Wind (SATB, baritone solo); Ich Am of Irland (SSS, choral or solo voices); Jesu Crist, Myn Leman Swete (SATB); Alas! Deceite (SATB). The suite is appropriate for intermediate-advanced ensembles. All of the movements are available separately as well; more information and a complete audio file is included on the page for each movement. Practice files are available at choraltracks.com. More information on this and the composer's other choral works is available at: www.johnnewellmusic.com.
