Description:
Commissioned by the Fairhaven Singers (Ralph Woodward, conductor) and premiered in December 2013, this Christmas carol is not explicitly religious and so can be used at any occasion during the festive period. The text, written by the composer, tells of 'this beautiful time of the year' and how it is a time for reflection on the year that's gone by. The strophic setting is very approachable, being mostly homophonic with some gentle dissonance, and would give a contrast to the lighter side of the traditional Christmas choral fare.
