I sing of a Maiden

I sing of a maiden
That is matchless,

King of all kings
For her son she chose.

He came as still
Where his mother was

Like dew in April
That falleth on the flower.

Mother and maiden
There was never one but she;

Well may such a lady
God's mother be.

15th century ~Anonymous
Arranged by Robert Shaw

This is one of my favorite carols. Does anyone know who wrote/arranged it?

[ChristmasMusicForAll]

An anonymous person wrote I Sing of a Maiden in Middle English during the 15th century. Robert Shaw arranged this rendition which is from the CD "Joy to the World" by the Robert Shaw Chorale. I put a picture of the CD at 0:30 through this video.

@ChristmasMusicForAll This was written by a priest. Theft recinds the xmas spirit.
