From the composer:
Harp and percussion set the stage for Eleanor Wilner’s Winter Solstice Carol, in which solo baritone introduces a festive subject which inspires polyphony in the strings and women’s chorus.
“a spill of notes from the mountain spruce,
green through all the time of white –
how bright the darkness is tonight!”
Commission/Dedication: Commissioned by Rork Music. To Rork Music and Lester Lynch.
