The arrangement of this American folk tune—which has had such disparate pairings as “What Wondrous Love Is This” and texts dealing with politics—is beautifully handled here by van den Honert. Starting with sopranos only, the other voices are gradually mixed in as the piece progresses. Once everyone is in, a mostly canonic verse is followed by a full-bodied section that ebbs away until the piece ends almost as it began, with sopranos on the melody above a simple hum in the other voices.
