Description
Sting If on a winters night Vinyl Gatefold MINT.
If On A Winter's Night presents an arc of songs that conjure the season of spirits, the eerie silences of the snow; days of solitude and reflection for some, a time of re-birth and celebration for many. With traditional music of the British Isles as their starting point, Sting and his guest musicians draw the listener in through a collection of songs, carols, and lullabies spanning the centuries--such as "The Snow It Melts the Soonest" (a traditional Newcastle ballad), "Soul Cake" (a traditional English begging song which has its roots in Halloween/All Souls Day), Gabriel's Message (a 14th century carol), as well as two of Sting's own compositions: "Lullaby for an Anxious Child" and "The Hounds of Winter". Also featured on the album is "Hurdy Gurdy Man", a musical reworking and English translation (by Sting) of "Der Leiermann" from Schubert's classic winter song-cycle Winterreise.
