We begin this week with a contemporary version of the Golden Gate Quartet performing "Go Down Moses." Those of you who have been at Clinton Avenue for a few years might remember how much the kids loved singing this. It's followed by an English anthem, a setting of John 3:16.

At the center of this week's list is the melody "Beech Spring." You might recognize it as the tune for several Protestant hymns. Here we have it first on solo mandola, then as the basis of the Sacred Harp song "Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy," and finally from a family trio playing dulcimers and guitar.

Listeners were enthusiastic about the duet from The Pearl Fishers that found its way on the list a few weeks ago. So I've rounded off this week with an aria from that opera, performed by Lawrence Brownlee.
