Description
The traditional anonymous Elizabethan song welcoming Lord Willoughby back home from the wars was turned into a lute duet by John Dowland. I have merged the two ideas and created a double choir version singing some of the verses of the original song, divided in a way similar to John Dowlands duet.
This double choir version is provided (in the zip file) for SATB - SATB (mixed choir) and for ATBarB - ATBarB (men's voices).
The sound sample is my own performance of the ATBarB-ATBarB version. I have also added timpani in the recording, but these are not scored and are optional.
