The tempo change is no problem, as we can change the weight of the tune in
other ways, like dropping down to a single part. The melody is going to be a
much bigger challenge, though, as it's a post-period style, so it'd require
some rhythmic and melodic tweaking for period choir. I'll play with it and
figure out what it'd take to make it work as a period choral piece. The
temptation would be to do an English Madrigal treatment of it, but those
require a *lot* of rehearsal time for folks to learn, so it'll be a matter
of how fast I can turn an arrangement out.

I don't know how well my March of the Star would work with a choir because
of the deliberate tempo changes, but you can find the mp3 here:

Greetings to my fellow bards,
I'm looking for audio recordings of songs written about our kingdom. The
goal in this is to arrange them for 2-5 voices so the Ansteorran choir can
work them up for Ansteorran 40th year. So, what do y'all have? Either
contrafacta or fully original works will be of interest, though with
post-period melodies I'll of course true them up to earlier rhythmic and
melodic practice. I'll also include instrumental versions as needed, both in
instruments only and also in ensemble accompanying solo voice.
So, what y'all got?
Herr Marcus il Volpè
