The celebration of Christ’s birth has inspired composers for centuries. Rather than presenting a conventional anthology of Christmas music, this recording follows the Church’s journey from Advent to Christmas, culminating in a glance towards Epiphany.
The programme reflects the sequence of music heard in the great seasonal liturgies of the Anglican choral tradition: the Advent Procession, the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols and the Epiphany Procession.
Although the recording opens with Once in Royal David’s City, it then returns to the expectant world of Advent before unfolding through Christmas to Epiphany.
