Description
I Sing of a Maiden (I syng of a mayden) is a Middle English poem or carol of the 15th century celebrating the Annunciation and the Virgin Birth of Jesus. The poem is written from a first person point of view, and contains five quatrains. No evidence of original music is known to exist, though obviously it is meant to be sung. Â
This short piece was written for SAB chorus. The text used here is in a more modern English flavour for easier singability, although makeles [matchless] and ches [chose] are still used. It is written in A Phrygian with switch to A Major in the final verse. Apologies to the Altos for all the E4 notes.Â
