This sequence of six carols explores the role of Mary in the Christmas story, focussing on her human experience within a story of the divine. The writer Georgia Way places the sycamore tree as a central image: from reflecting instability in Mary's emerging adulthood to symbolizing the regenerative power of the human spirit in the work's closing movement. Chilcott's music perfectly depicts the narrative, musically charting Mary's emotional journey through poignant melodies, rich harmonies, and characterful instrumental textures.
