A bridal march from Nas in Sweden from Ben Paleys 1993 book Swedish Fiddle music, notated and arranged by Ben Paley. 
Dedicated to Selva, with whom I played this tune when she was 14.

Brudmarsh From Nas

this new carol is inspired by medieval music. The legend it's based on is an old Irish story - St Bride (Bridget) was the daughter of a Pagan king, who converted to Christianity and became a hermit. One Christmas she wished that she could have been with the Virgin Mary at the birth of Jesus, so that she could take care of him and help out... Angels appeared who took her back in time and across oceans to Bethlehem, where she miraculously managed to suckle the infant Jesus. I've embroidered the story a bit to include the baby opening his hand to show St Bride that he held the world within.

I used the first verse of a poem by Paul Fort, which I have loved for years. This setting was written for Seraphim, a wonderful women's singing ensemble led by Vetta Wise. They sing it much better than I do.
