A new slow and easy SATB arrangement of a German tune that's possibly more recent than it seems. The arranger has put the piece into the unusual recorder key of F minor, 4 flats, but it's gently moving and tuneful enough to be accessible until the key is comfortable under the fingers. Note the composer's remark, "A moderate tempo permits easy negotiation of the four flats. But the frequent half hole and forked fingerings they engender require special attention to tuning..." Uncommon notes are the norm here, such as Fb (=E)*, Gb (=F#), Cb (=B) and B-double-flat (=A) (*the equivalent pitches are the same key on a piano, but have other names due to notational conventions). Lots of beautiful moments to sink into the harmonies, and the forked fingerings actually provide opportunities for tuning the chords just right.
