If on a Winter's Night presents an arc of songs that conjure the season of
spirits, the eerie silences of the snow; days of solitude and reflection for
some, a time of re-birth and celebration for many. With traditional music of
the British Isles as their starting point, Sting and his guest musicians draw the
listener in through a collection of songs, carols, and lullabies spanning the
centuries - such as The Snow it Melts the Soonest (traditional Newcastle
ballad), Soul Cake (traditional English "begging" song) Gabriel's Message (14th
century carol), as well as two of Sting's own compositions - Lullaby for an
Anxious Child and The Hounds of Winter. Also featured on the album is Hurdy
Gurdy Man - a musical reworking and English translation (by Sting) of Der
Leiermann from Schubert's classic winter song-cycle Winterreise. For this
exploration of the themes and emotions of winter Sting is joined by friend and
long time colleague, guitarist Dominic Miller - and an ensemble of three
remarkable musicians from Northern England and Scotland: Kathryn Tickell
(fiddle and Northumbrian pipes) Julian Sutton (melodian) and Mary MacMaster
(metal string Scottish harp). Additional guest artists include Vincent Ségal
(cello), Daniel Hope (violin), Chris Botti (trumpet), Ibrahim Maalouf (trumpet),
Stile Antico (vocal ensemble), Cyro Baptista (percussion), Bijan Chemirani
(percussion) and the Webb Sisters (vocals). Together they've created an
album with a wonderful, warm, and unique ensemble sound - an acoustic
meditation on winter.
