My Arrangement of a song(melody nor original harmony present at all in this recording) by Karly Warkentin, from 2015, for a chamber orchestra with guitar, vibes, piano, and drums. Unfortunately the vocal never got recorded as this was backing for a live musical.

Come All You Fair and Tender Ladies

A partial song I found in a book about Murder Ballads.
I harmonized it, and then Jack and I filled in some lyrics based on the story about the death of Nellie Paget from Bannack Montana, included in the book.
I have to dig up the book from my basement to find who it was by/what it was called. But it is beautiful none the less.
Performed by Martin Reisle, Jack Garton, and Aiden Brant-Bricall.
Recorded by Mark Dolmont.
