Description
A Renaissance-era carol brought up to date in a fresh contemporary setting. Veteran Broadway music director and conductor Ben Cohn brings a modern musical theatre sound to this traditional English song. A serenely sparse piano part (during two opening alto solos) gradually grows to a full and glorious accompaniment as more voices join. Listen closely for the juxtaposed stillness/motion and minor/major that symbolize the cold of winter versus the warmth of the season. The entire piece garners edge-of-your-seat wonder, but the greatest chills will come when brief strains from four additional carols trickle in. Simply stunning.

I have sung in choirs for 30-odd years, but only came across this last week when my new choir learnt it. It's rather lovely

My choir is doing this piece and it's absolutely beautiful. We aren't completely finished putting it together, but we got to the four-part chorus today and it sounded really good. Amazing piece!
