Description:
A secular cantata edited by Alastair Mitchell. The purpose of bringing out an edition of nine pieces of the original 28 from The Masque Of Alfred is to provide choirs/orchestras with interesting, unusual eighteenth-century music, and a work of practical length for concert purposes. The work is an evocation of rural England as it was during Alfred's reign and gives some insight into his character.
