Additional Information
A dramatic single movement brass quintet. The young Chidiock Tichborne was condemned to death in 1586 for his part in a plot against Queen Elizabeth 1st. Before his execution he wrote the famous poem ‘My prime of youth is but a frost of cares’ which was set for voices by his contemporary John Mundy. I have taken the first four notes (only) of Mundy's setting as the basis of this sad drama.
