SATB

Three Dove Songs

1. I Had a Dove (SSATBB) - Please note the midi file cannot accurately recreate the “nature sounds” notated in the score, using breath, rubbing hands in circles, or rhythmic, but unpitched “ch” and “ts” sounds. I have edited those sections out of the demo file shared above.

2. Two Doves on a Selfsame Branch (SATB, with SSAATTBB quasi-canon)
