I Sing of a Maiden is a simple but evocative setting of the beautiful Medieval lyric poem celebrating the Annunciation and coming birth of Christ. Written in a modern but lyrical and accessible idiom, Judith Bailey’s choral piece features chordal writing which is both radiant and dramatic.
The piano accompaniment is used sparingly, providing a colourful and harmonically inventive framework, contrasting a unison rhythmic design for the choir. The slow moving harmonies create musical landscapes of atmospheric beauty providing music which is suitable for choirs both large and small.
I Sing of a Maiden was first published by Recital Music in 2012.
