An excerpt from our Holiday Concert on December 19, 2021.
This performance was the U.S. premiere of this piece!
Notes from the publisher:
This setting of the evocative poem by Chesterton is
atmospheric and powerful. Showcasing McDowall's
distinctive style, its minor tonality, subtle chromaticisms,
and whole-tone scales portray the contrasting voices in the
text to breathtaking effect.
