Upton
I Syng Of A Mayden
The Choral Alphabet is a series that explores choral music by composers in alphabetical order. These rehearsals are free; be sure to subscribe to Homechoir on YouTube to learn more classical pieces, songs in multiple genres, and join in with the fun!
This week, it's U for Upton (as in Christopher Upton, our only living composer in the Choral Alphabet!) and his wonderful setting of the 14th century text I Syng of a Mayden. HUGE thanks to Chris for allowing us to use his piece in our series. Please do check out his other choral works on CPDL: https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/index.php/Christopher_Upton
