Ruth Morris Gray has created a spirited and artful setting of Shakespeare's flirtatious text from Much Ado About Nothing. Also a fabulous choice for smaller ensembles, the piece includes a playful polyphonic chorus of Hey, nonny, nonny-o and an accompaniment featuring a driving rhythmic ostinato that underscores the ladies' cry Men were deceivers ever. To one thing constant never. Sigh no more, ladies.
