Description
Quire Cleveland under Artistic Director Ross W. Duffin, singing at Historic St. Peter's Church in downtown Cleveland, April 6, 2014.
This is a setting of Robert Burns' love poem, "Flow gently sweet Afton." The original setting for voice and guitar was published in Philadelphia in 1838 by J. E. Spilman, but a setting of it for three voices was published in Warren's Minstrel, a shape-note collection published by James Sullivan Warren in Columbus, Ohio, in 1857.
