Carl Strommen gives us an exceptionally beautiful setting of this folk song that contains a transparent orchestration to begin the work, contrasted nicely with the later entrance of the full ensemble. Your ensemble will enjoy reflecting the romantic sentiment of Passerine broadly and with great expression.
