2027 SATB	She moved through the fair ***	A most beautiful Irish folk song, rewritten by collector Padraic Colum, and offered here in a lilting a cappella arrangement. 3m 00s see it • hear a MIDI rendering • Music: Geoffrey Dale. Words: Padraic Colum.	C
4020 SSATB piano	Hark! how all the welkin rings ***	A glorious concert rendition of the old carol which was fore-runner of Hark the herald angels sing. Bell-like tonalities in the piano, and lots of action in the chorus. 4m 30s see it • hear a MIDI rendering • Music: Geoffrey Dale. Words: Charles Wesley (1707-88), Geoffrey Dale.	C
