Howells: A New Year Carol - Ikon & David Hill

Listen to the album 🎧 https://hyperion.lnk.to/cda68476ID Written five years after Britten’s famous setting, Howells’s interpretation of 'A New Year Carol' (1939) abandons the stately sweet unison melody in favour of a ‘Joyous’ (as indicated in the score) arrangement for two-part chorus. Howells’s talent for counterpoint remains evident in the carol, which features a delicate countermelody in the piano during the second verse that, once again, never detracts from the melodic line. The carol was also orchestrated for a large orchestra, but this orchestration has never been published. For many listeners, Herbert Howells’s choral output will always be associated with his sizeable and significant contribution to the Anglican tradition, but his settings of secular texts should not be overlooked. This album offers a welcome introduction to these, including two works newly arranged for this recording by pianist Iain Farrington.
