Ali Ferguson - This Shortest Day

A little winter ambience. I set my favourite "winter" poem to some music that I've had kicking about the studio to make this little "winter offering" for the season.

And when the new year’s sunshine blazed awake They shouted, reveling. Through all the frosty ages you can hear them Echoing behind us — listen!

And now so do we, here, now, This year and every year. Welcome Yule..."
