Frozen Mistletoe by Catherine Wilson is stoic, determined and has an optimistic feel.  
 
The open fifths create an oldy-worldy feel while the sparse melody is interspersed with bursts of movement that build towards the Tierce de Picardie at the end that hints that perhaps the mistletoe has thawed!
