“Blessed be that Maid Marie” was premiered by the BBC Singers at St Giles’ Cripplegate, and broadcast on BBC Radio 3 broadcast in December 2012.“Blessed be that Maid Marie” is essentially a traditional strophic carol. Whilst the choruses remain unchanged, subtle melodic variants in each successive verse give the work a jaunty and bright dance-like character.
