Excellent! As dirges go, this must be one of the dirgiest.

I remember learning this as a secondary school student at a course run by East Ham Education Debden House in Essex.

Previously I have heard 2 great versions of this song; by Pentangle and by The Young Tradition. This version is now the third great version. The words "Christ receive thy soul" have a great power in this song.

Benjamin Britten set it as part of "Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings" in 1943. Worth a listen - especially with Peter Pears (tenor).

Exquisite and deeply moving!

An excellent rendition! MUCH better than bloody Britten's mangling! Well done.
