Review:
This creative setting of Sussex Carol catches the listeners' attention right from the start with its 2/2 meter, instead of the typical 6/8 lilting meter. Utilizing the technique of plucking and martellato, Arnold captures a joyous mood that charms and delights from beginning to end. The piece begins with a bold opening and ends with an even bigger finale, making it an exciting selection for the Christmas season.
