Four Christmas carols that capture the distinctive contradictory and unmistakable choral style of Giles Swayne.Always plain-speaking challenging intense and emotionally honest Swaynes music also brims with wit melody and a sly playfulness that is both captivating and addictive. The Four Christmas Carols were written over several years. The first three are for unison voices with Piano and can be performed by the whole assembly. The fourth requires a larger SATB chorus and is a larger expressive and impressive setting of The Coventry Carol.This set of carols has it all - from grand unison melodies familiar tunes and rousing choruses to morepoignant challenging and unusual passages. It represents a hugely satisfying and entertaining addition to any festive performance or carol concert.

This interesting new take on the classic carol Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day by Swiss composer Carl Rütti formed one-third of a trio of carols that reinvigorated the old favourites with fresh and interesting musical elements. The Three Carols medley was initiated in 1996 with My Dancing Day?forming the Presto section. Carl Rütti's work blends the English choral tradition with other genres such as jazz and blues. His work defies expectations and as such this would make a great piece to perform for choirs who are perhaps tired of the traditional Christmas choral works and want to inject some freshmusical vigour into their festive repertoire. In the September 2015 issue of Organists' Review Michael Overbury writes that this piece is 'immediately accessible with typically spicy chromatic inflections.'
