Description:

A collection of contemporary Christmas carols, including nine world premieres by the Oxford University of Worcester Choir, led by organist Stephen Farr. Although contemporary, many of the names of the composers are familiar to choral lovers, and although the works themselves use elaborate and complex harmonies, they are not difficult to understand and can be enjoyed wholeheartedly.
