Noel Edison directs the Choir of St John's, Elora, singing Healey Willan's Marian Motet, I Beheld her Beautiful as a Dove, HWC 312.
I beheld her beautiful as a dove, rising above the water brooks,
And her raiment was filled with perfume beyond all price.
Even as the spring time was she girded with rosebuds and lilies of the valley.
Who is this that cometh up from the desert like a wreath of sweet smoke
arising from franks incense and myrrh?
Even as the spring time was she girded with rosebuds and lilies of the valley.
