This is a simple attractive folk-song setting of Shakespeare's 'O mistress mine' from Twelfth Night. Each of the two verses begins with double counterpoint between tenor and bass and soprano and alto and builds chromatically to a resounding cadence. The optional humorous ending provides a fitting conclusion to this delightful paean to love.

O Mistress Mine is an exuberant secular song the lyrics of which originate from Act 2 Scene 3 of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Andrew Carter has fashioned a superb unaccompanied work for mixed chorus full of youthful energy that was commissioned by Leith Hill Musical in celebration of its centenary in 2005.
