Still, Still, Still - Single

“This is the most beautiful melody. For me, it evokes very special memories of a magical time of year. The tune for ‘Still, Still, Still’ first appeared in 1865 in a folk-song collection from Austria, and the words describe the peace of the infant Jesus and his mother as the baby is sung to sleep. I chose this carol because there’s a sense of holy silence that radiates from it, and it has a kind of perfect symmetry that appeals to me. It plays so beautifully on the piano, and I’m able to imbue the melody with a depth of harmony and sonorities in order to create something really magical. I didn’t want to disturb the carol too much, but just bring to it a sense of fullness.”
