Always distinctive. Always unique. The music of René Clausen always leaves a lasting impression upon those who listen and those who perform. “All This Night” pairs the contrasting poetry of William Austin(1587-1634) and Oliver Wendell Holmes (1809-1834) with contrasting musical styles. Both texts are poems of praise referring to the wonders of creation and the power of the Almighty. Clausen very cleverly sets the medieval textwith a contemporary feel-syncopation some dissonance modern harmonies – while the contemporary text is set in a more traditional chorale-like homophonic style.
