Description:
The original version of this setting of the well-known traditional English folk song was completed in 1974, and was commissioned by Rachel McMillan College of Education (where Gregson was a lecturer at the time) for its Music Department Choir (female voices). It then had the somewhat unusual instrumentation of spinet, flute and string quartet. In 2017 Gregson was asked to revise it for performance and publication in a new version for upper voices and piano. Arranged for SATB with Piano accompaniment.
