Beautiful beyond words ,
Thank you, Gesualdo Six and Joanna Marsh, for the beautifully serene moment on this -3 C morning in North America. The dissonances are lovely without being saccharine. ♥ 👏
Thank you gentlemen for an intoxicatingly lovely performance of this piece. Your chosen tempo allowed us listeners to luxuriate in every chord. Bravo!
In Winter’s House - poem by Jane Draycott
In winter's house there's a room
that's pale and still as mist in a field
while outside in the street every gate's shut firm,
every face as cold as steel.
In winter's house there's a bed
that is spread with frost and feathers,
that gleams in the half-light like rain in a disused yard
or a pearl in a choked-up stream.
In winter's house there's a child
asleep in a dream of light that grows out
of the dark, a flame you can hold in your hand like a flower
or a torch on the street.
In winter's house there's a tale
that's told of a great chandelier in a garden,
of fire that catches and travels for miles,
of all gates and windows wide open.
In winter's house there's a flame
being dreamt by a child in the night,
in the small quiet house at the turn in the lane
where the darkness gives way to light.
Thank you wonderful poem, wonderful music.
Absolutely gorgeous setting and singing! Heard this on #choral chihuahua and had to come to listen again.
This is such a sublime composition!
Very excited about this new album. Beautiful video, and, yes, G6 are as good as this live, and better. Their Silverdale English Motets concert was heavenly.
A mesmerising piece - and a mesmerising performance
I discovered you gents last night and immediately played one of your songs as a lullaby for my four-year-old
Very Nice Sentiment ❤️
Thank you G6. A superb piece beautifully sung.
One of my favorites. This must be so fun to sing.
Pure beauty !
Whoa.❤🔥 This performance right here has set the new standard for renditions of Marsh's brilliant work. The tempo is rightly on the slower side, and diction and phrasing is spot on, utter perfection. I've always turned to Tenebrae's stunning performance on CZcams, and still will; but this one joins it as another superb rendition with all the right technique. And that basso profundo... YASSS! 🔥Thank you, GS!
Pure Veneration ❤
Just perfection. Was privileged to hear you in Dallas a few years back. All the best from a former neighbor. 🇬🇧
Congratulations on the new album! You create such beautiful art, and I thoroughly enjoy every interpretation of Joanna Marsh's work. She is an amazing composer!
Excelente performance
Impeccable musicianship, exquisite phrasing and expression, and incomparable intonation! Thank you, Gesualdo Six, for this wonderful gift! May your “likes” be in the tens of thousands!
When I grow up, I want to be a singer with G6 🙂
What a stunning piece so hauntingly conveyed. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Gorgeous piece and of course superb performance!
I love this piece and that’s a brilliant evocation of it; ending particularly beautiful. Thank you.
Unreal. hope to visit you all one day
Thank you so much for your precious attention dear "Gesualdo Six", makes me happy and really honoured.
Thank you for sharing this new composition. Would it be possible to post the words in the comments?
