Synopsis
for SATB and organ 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.

Newspapers & Magazines
Sopranos start and finish the piece, with the full SATB choir occupying the main body of the work. Jackson has imbued Ben Johnson's well-known poem with strength and purpose, not least with his use of a quaver-dotted crotchet figure that permeates this well-structured anthem from top to bottom. * Jeremy Jackman, Choir & Organ, September 2018 *
