This is a setting of the
poem "Polaris" by Simon Armitage, as used for the BBC
radio 3 carol competition 2023. I was especially struck by the
way each of the three verses is structured with ironic lines
about a powerful segment of society not facing up to global
warming challenges - followed by a contrasting line about the
truth of nature. The setting tries to render this musically.
