The Gesualdo Six: In Winter’s House by Joanna Marsh 

Beautiful beyond words ,

A mesmerising piece - and a mesmerising performance

Thank you, Gesualdo Six and Joanna Marsh, for the beautifully serene moment on this -3 C morning in North America. The dissonances are lovely without being saccharine. ♥ 👏

Thank you gentlemen for an intoxicatingly lovely performance of this piece. Your chosen tempo allowed us listeners to luxuriate in every chord. Bravo!

Thank you G6. A superb piece beautifully sung.

Very excited about this new album. Beautiful video, and, yes, G6 are as good as this live, and better. Their Silverdale English Motets concert was heavenly.

I discovered you gents last night and immediately played one of your songs as a lullaby for my four-year-old

Whoa.❤‍🔥 This performance right here has set the new standard for renditions of Marsh's brilliant work. The tempo is rightly on the slower side, and diction and phrasing is spot on, utter perfection. I've always turned to Tenebrae's stunning performance on RU-vid, and still will; but this one joins it as another superb rendition with all the right technique. And that basso profundo... YASSS! 🔥Thank you, GS!

Just perfection. Was privileged to hear you in Dallas a few years back. All the best from a former neighbor. 🇬🇧

Congratulations on the new album! You create such beautiful art, and I thoroughly enjoy every interpretation of Joanna Marsh's work. She is an amazing composer!

Impeccable musicianship, exquisite phrasing and expression, and incomparable intonation! Thank you, Gesualdo Six, for this wonderful gift! May your “likes” be in the tens of thousands!

One of my favorites. This must be so fun to sing.

When I grow up, I want to be a singer with G6 🙂

Pure beauty !

Thank you so much for your precious attention dear "Gesualdo Six", makes me happy and really honoured.

Pure Veneration ❤

What a stunning piece so hauntingly conveyed. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love this piece and that’s a brilliant evocation of it; ending particularly beautiful. Thank you.

Gorgeous piece and of course superb performance!

Excelente performance

Unreal. hope to visit you all one day

In Winter’s House - poem by Jane Draycott In winter's house there's a room that's pale and still as mist in a field while outside in the street every gate's shut firm, every face as cold as steel. In winter's house there's a bed that is spread with frost and feathers, that gleams in the half-light like rain in a disused yard or a pearl in a choked-up stream. In winter's house there's a child asleep in a dream of light that grows out of the dark, a flame you can hold in your hand like a flower or a torch on the street. In winter's house there's a tale that's told of a great chandelier in a garden, of fire that catches and travels for miles, of all gates and windows wide open. In winter's house there's a flame being dreamt by a child in the night, in the small quiet house at the turn in the lane where the darkness gives way to light.

Thank you for sharing this new composition. Would it be possible to post the words in the comments?

Where is the 6th ?

I like early sacred MUCH better.
