Boats Sail on the Rivers

Difficulty: Moderately easy

Quick Summary

Mary Lyn Lightfoot’s setting of the popular Christina Rosetti poem is very singable. The chorus builds triadic harmonies while verses are mostly in unison or employ imitation. Arranged in 2 parts with descant, it uses mixed metres which suit the text beautifully.  There is also an easier arrangement of this poem by Mark Patterson that is worth a look.
