A haunting and contemporary a cappella arrangement of a wonderful old English carol. The subtle dissonance and tonal shifts make this a memorable and meaningful setting. Great for use within a liturgical setting or for concert use.

And all was for an apple,
As clerkes finden,

Ne hadde the appil take ben,
Ne hadde never our lady

Ne had the apple taken been,
Ne had never our ladie,

Therefore we mown syngyn

Blessed be the time
Therefore we moun singen.
