Format : Vocal Score
Commissioned by The Maryland State Boychoir in 2017 this striking Christmas piece sets a famous text by Ben Jonson. Jackson's attractive and largely diatonic harmonies combine with vivid word-setting deft manipulations of texture and a colourful organ part to create a mood of gentle rapture with a central section that explores more conflicted atmospheres.

For upper voices and organ This piece is demanding for both the singers and the accompaniment with much ornamentation in the vocal part. The work is slow in tempo and the text is by Algernon Charles Swinburne.
