Description
The resounding refrains of The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford reverberate throughout A Lullaby Carol: Christmas from Christ Church, a rich tapestry of traditional and contemporary works celebrating the choir's musical heritage, particularly from the 20th and 21st centuries. Highlights include the melodically and rhythmically rich "Make we joy now in this fest" and "All this time", by Sir William Walton, one of Christ Church's most famous alumni; John Rutter's modern masterpiece "Hymn to the Creator of Light" and Simon Preston's timeless "There is no rose". There are also two settings by former Organists of Christ Church: Stephen Darlington's arrangement of "Silent Night", and his successor Steven Grahl's setting of "O nata lux".
'If Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without the sound of boys' voices then A Lullaby Carol: Christmas at Christ Church is an excellent choice.' – Choir & Organ
