There follows a gentle two-part melody accompanied by humming lower parts ('In paradisum'), followed by a majestic, largely homophonic section ('Chorus angelorum'), and a closing sectio…

Par KELLY BRYAN. The Capriol Carol is a magical union of the treasured early English lyric ‘ This enders night' and the haunting tune of the ‘ Pieds-en-l'air' from Peter Warlock's much-loved Capriol Suite.

That has always been…
