John Merrick
THE BEE CAROL for unaccompanied mixed voice choir
Goodmusic GM276
This stunningly beautiful carol was the winning entry in the BBC Radio 3 Carol Competition in 2018. The words are by Scottish poet and playwright and Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy.
Silently on Christmas Eve,
the turn of midnight's key;
all the garden locked in ice -
a silver frieze -
except the winter cluster of the bees.
Duration 2½ minutes
