A Winter's Night

This classically grounded 15-minute cantata combines several popular carols in a performance full of Christmas spirit. Through creative reharmonization, rhythmic variation, and imaginative linking passages, McDowall conjures for us a joyful atmosphere, delighting with familiar and surprising material in equal measure. A rousing finale weaves together several of the tunes to bring the piece to a jubilant close. The brass quintet parts are available on rental from the publisher.
