A setting of the traditional Yorkshire song, 'A Lyke Wake Dirge', sung to accompany the carrying of a body over a coffin path to its resting place.

Written for and sung by Juice Vocal Ensemble (Anna Snow, Sarah Dacey and Kerry Andrew).

This song was arranged to be woven into a short story I wrote, 'The Coffin Path', which you can listen to exclusively as a B-side to my You Are Wolf song, Blue Men: youarewolf.bandcamp.com
