Description:
John Casken, who celebrates his 60th birthday in 2009, set Christina Rossetti's In the bleak mid-winter - a poem popularised by Gustav Holts' setting of the same name - for Alwinton and Holystone Church Choir near to where the composer lives in Northumberland. A traditional carol based on the nativity it paints a vivid picture of the chill of winter and is ideal for choirs wishing to move away from the well-known whilst retaining an element of tradition. Constantly flowing organ lines create a sense of unease but this is uplifting music with subtle crescendos and powerful homophonic writing for the voices.
