About "Wither's Rocking Hymn (Arr. Christopher Bruerton)" by The King's Singers
Christopher Bruerton's take on 'Wither's Rocking Hymn' finds the strange in the familiar. The King's Singers balance a gentle 6/8 sway against harmonies that feel just slightly off-kilter—a cradle rocked by an unseen hand. It's Christmas as lullaby, but the darkness outside the window is never quite forgotten.
