About This Song
About "Sussex Carol "On Christmas Night" (Arr. Willcocks)" by St Paul's Cathedral Choir
Willcocks's arrangement of the Sussex Carol bursts with rustic joy, the choir skipping through 'On Christmas Night' with bright, dancing counterpoint. The tension is between folk simplicity and cathedral grandeurâa country tune dressed in vestments, its refrain leaping like a fire lit against the longest night.
