James MacMillan: Lassie, Wad Ye Loe Me? SATB

A touching setting of an anonymous love poem in broad Scots, composed for the wedding of some friends of the composer. The attractive folk-like melody is clearly stated, sometimes with full harmony and in other places picked out by supporting drones. Multiple divisi are scored in all voices, and also an optional soprano solo. For mixed intermediate choir a cappella, with piano accompaniment for rehearsal only.
