Composer/Series: Come Emmanuel - English Christmas Music
Description
'O come Emmanuel' is the title of an ancient Advent hymn, and likewise the title of Currende's third Christmas concert. The recording of this concert took place on 29 December 2025 in St Peter's Church in Leuven. This CD, too, offers a wonderfully warm bath of enchanting Christmas sounds, built around English Christmas music -- "Real British Christmas Music." With an ensemble of six singers, organ, strings, recorder, and baroque oboe, you hear a seamless tapestry of festive and intimate Christmas music by Thomas Tallis, William Byrd, Orlando Gibbons, John Blow, and George Frideric Handel. Several surprising and familiar Christmas carols also appear, newly arranged for Currende's Christmas instrumentation. The acoustics of St Peter's Church in Leuven provided a magnificent setting for this recording.
