This is a jazz-swing medley of three traditional Christmas songs: Deck the Halls The Wassail Song and We Wish You a Merry Christmas. Arranged for mixed choir (SATB) and piano.

from Christmas Sequence op. 95-This carol was commissioned in 2002 by King’s College Cambridge for their famous service of Nine Lessons and Carols. It tells the start of the familiar Christmas story: Gabriel's Annunciation; praise to the Virgin before she too sings 'my soul doth magnify the Lord'; the shepherds a-watching their flocks by night; the angelic chorus in the sky; the fusion of celestial and earthy around the crib holding the baby who is also 'Lord of Time & Space'.   The text is from a variety of sources: anonymous carols of the 15th 16th & 17th centuries Edmund Bolton (1611 'Sweet music sweeter far...') the Gloria from the Mass and a couple of lines fromwell-loved Anglican hymns.   Selected for the Royal Philharmonic Society’s ‘Encore’ project this carol will offer some challenge to intermediate choirs but will add some originality to a carol service or Christmas concert.

John Rutter's Christmas Lullaby for SATB and Organ or small Orchestra (Orchestration: fl ob cl str). 'Clear in the darkness a light shines in Bethlehem' This delightful carol was commissioned in 1989 by the Bach Choir in celebration of the seventieth birthday of its conductor Sir David Willcocks. The haunting melody of the verses and the reflective refrain of 'Ave Maria' have made this an immensely popular piece for performance at Christmas concerts and church services.The orchestral accompaniment is available on sale and on hire/rental and a version for upper voices is also available. This John RutterAnniversary Edition replaces R3142.
