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 text with a contemporary feel-syncopation, some dissonance, modern harmonies - while the contemporary text is set in a more traditional, chorale-like, homophonic style.
