Alfred Burt: The Alfred Burt Christmas Carols: Piano Vocal and Guitar: Mixed

The most famous American Christmas carol family is undisputably the Burt family. The carols of Bates and Alfred Burt and the Christmas carol cards they sent are now part of our hymnody and folklore. Abbie Burt Betinis is the greatgranddaughter of Bates and grand niece of Alfred and is continuing the tradition with freshness and craftsmanship. A noted and often commissioned composer in her own right she brings skill and talent to this unique genre in away no one else could. The verse and chorus form reminds us of an English carol but the text taken most often from other Burt family members are very American. Enjoy this energetic carol with sacred text by John Harris Burt.

A favorite from the Alfred Burt carols “Caroling Caroling” is presented here with a fresh new perspective from Greg Gilpin. The melody sings back and forth between men's and women's voices over a bright and joyful galloping accompaniment. The constant presence of the “caroling caroling caroling caroling...” motif in one voice part or another adds a shimmer of excitement to the festivities of singing through the snow. Asusual Gilpin adds a few harmonic and melodic surprises that are sure to please. This arrangement is pure fun!
