A varied programme to get you into the mood for Christmas.
There are two substantial works for choir and harp: Britten’s much loved and atmospheric A Ceremony of Carols and John Owen Edwards’ fantasia on carols Wassail! The contemporary is not neglected as we come right up to date with the winner of the 2015 BBC Radio 3 Breakfast Carol Competition, Comes the Light by Ann Burgess. Greg Rose’s It’s Snowing presents an extraordinary and magical vocal picture of snowy weather, using aleatoric effects.
