As Joseph was a-walking

Francis Potts' finely crafted setting of the traditional words 'As Joseph was a-walking' has a neo-medieval flavour. Each vocal line has independent melodic shape; dissonance and chromaticism are deftly employed to exquisitely expressive ends. This is a splendid piece, within the capabilities of many parish choirs and strongly recommended to cathedral choirs. * Church Music Quarterly, December 2011 *
Francis Pott's As Joseph was a-walking has a lovely fluidity; it is richly crafted with modal harmonies and tasteful suspensions. * Rupert Gough, Choir & Organ November 2011 *
Pott's setting, in a rather oblique, modal harmony, captures an almost dreamlike quality, as the angel's prophecy of Christ's imminent birth envelopes its recipient. * Matthew Greenall, The Singer, August 2011 *
