Creator of the Stars of Night
Lovely alternate setting of the traditional chant for Vespers in Advent, Conditor alme siderum. This text dates from the 7th century and has been translated by JM Neale and arranged by Phillip Norman. The first video is the melody, the second is the descant for the older choristers.

Older Motets:
If Ye Love Me by Thomas Tallis
This is a beautiful piece that we are adapting...you will notice in the following video that there is no accompaniment and that there are men's and women's voices. Our children do not have the range to be able to cover all the parts, so I will be grabbing the lower parts on the piano or organ to support them. For now, just listen to the top voice and practice singing along (we are singing our version just a little bit higher...). I hope to record my own arrangement soon and get it posted....
