I Syng of a Mayden

Carlotta Ferrari sets a classic Middle English text, a devotional poem celebrating the Virgin Mary and her divine son. The anonymous fifteenth-century text is a cornerstone of English Marian poetry, focusing on Mary's unique status as both mother and maiden. Ferrari's setting for SATB choir explores the profound mystery of the Incarnation, with the music reflecting the text's gentle reverence and spiritual wonder. This piece is ideally suited for Christmas services or concerts, offering a moment of quiet contemplation on one of Christianity's central narratives. The setting beautifully captures the simple yet powerful language of the original poem.
