Carol for S. solo, SATB/SATB Choir and Organ Duration: ca 5'00" This setting was published by Novello and Co. during 2005 Please visit the Links page for Novello contact details Reviews Musicweb International, 2008 Francis Pott’s That yongë child, recorded here for the first time, is all the more stark by comparison [with works by Chilcott and Ben Parry]. It is treated to an unquestionably contemporary yet austerely beautiful setting of medieval words which will be familiar, this time from Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols. Pott’s setting features a solo treble, sung with clarity and poignancy by Hannah Lucas, the sound of the treble voice ultimately left magically alone over a long concluding organ chord.
