Description:
This contemporary setting expresses the unpredictable and sometimes capricious nature of fate in its use of mixed meter, at times shifting without warning between 7/8 and 4/4. While current listeners may not hold the superstitious beliefs the original medieval authors may have held, the concept of fate as a power that can both plague and please is still an idea that captures our present imagination.
