I would suggest NOT using the the gregorian chant cue provided here, but rather securing the rights to a recording, which the company I worked for tried to do. Unfortunately at the last minute they needed me to make a recording of my own, thus, I had to do mine with a sampler, and it still sounds a bit computerized to me.Still, I'm including it just in case the same thing happens to you...

SONG DEMOS
The original idea our director had for the songs was to write ONE melody for Kabe that would be pliable enough to set all of his lyrics to. After rehearsing it this way a bit, he felt it would be better to have Kabes songs rewritten all with different melodies. Both examples are presented to you here.
The songs, by the way, are based off of melodic structures found in a 17th century Anglican hymnal.

I later found out that "The Bells of St. Clemens" is an old nursery melody. I never recorded it for the actors, the version that follows is my original music. In the sheet music PDF I've transcribed both versions.
