About This Song
About "Wymondham Chants: Prayer: Mary modyr" by The King's Singers
A prayer to Mary, 'modyr' mild, unfolds in hushed, luminous polyphony. The King's Singers suspend each syllable like a bead of dew on a petal, calm surface barely containing a quiver of supplication. The tension is between earthly fear and heavenly comfort—a whispered plea that hangs in the air.
