This Have I Done for My True Love
Trad/Holst arr. Marshall
4 SSAB. Steve says: 'The melody of this ancient song may be well-known, but Holst's choral arrangement may be less so. It is a long setting (5 minutes) and a dramatic one. For some time I have wondered how to set it for recorders, and I had plenty of time to ponder the question, as I had to wait for Holst's copyright to expire. It has now done so, and I am very pleased to be able to publish my arrangement for recorder quartet. The piece goes through many moods, which four recorders will need to work hard at capturing. But it can be done, and very successfully. This is not obvious recorder repertoire, but it works well.'
