The idea for the piece originated with the Mellon Elemental Arts Initiative, which proposed funding activities that would involve students in a... less

Homechoir is a new way of looking at learning music. You don’t need to be able to sing well or at all to take part – the teaching is one-way. You watch and sing along with Ben if you can, and are invited to take part in the live text chat with everyone else around the world. There is a vibrant and friendly social community among the choir.
If you can’t join in live, then you can enjoy the music-making at any time as all our sessions are recorded and available for you to watch when you can, as often as you like.
You don’t need to be able to read music, and where scores are needed, Ben will display them on screen to help you learn. As well as traditional choir and Classical pieces, Ben teaches a huge range of other songs including folk, sea shanti... less

This setting for Christmas represents the cold of a Northern winter
(the cruel wind blows)
although of course the actual events took place in rather warmer climes.
It also reflects much of the liturgical and popular symbolism of the Christmas season: robins, holly etc and it brings our thoughts towards the season of Easter with the blood of Good Friday.
