Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming
15th Century German
This carol is 15th century German, also in the antiphonal treatment, this setting is a play between two composers' styles. The chorale version I used is the harmonization by Michael Praetorius done in the year 1609.
Most people are more familiar with the Bach harmonization, so I used the older Praetorius but treated my harmonization in the style of Bach.
1609 was the year Kepler wrote his treatis called "The Dream" on space travel. This was the topic of Fresh Aire V. Just another collision in time.

The Holly & The Ivy
Ancient French Melody
From an old French carol of ancient times, The Holly and the Ivy were symbolic of the ancient worship of nature. This carol became yet another blending of a secular topic with a sacred topic.

Greensleeves
16th Century English
Because of the staggering number of requests for this, I decided to do it again (fourth time) for this album. It shows up on several other albums in the American Gramaphone catalog. This is an Old English folk song from around the time of Shakespeare. I saved the beauty of the entirety of the tune until the last arrangement as not to wear out its charm.
