About This Song

About "Ceremony of Carols, Op. 28 : Britten: Ceremony of Carols, Op. 28: As Dew In Aprille" by Choir Of King's College, Cambridge

Harp cascades and choral whispers mimic dew on petals. 'As Dew In Aprille' is Britten at his most delicately descriptive, the music glistening with a cool, spring-like freshness—yet the modal harmonies cast a faint shadow, as if dawn's light reveals something unsettling.
