A collection of new popular carols for Christmas sung in the cathedral choral tradition. The simple 2000-year-old story of the Nativity continues to inspire sublime music from the composers of our time. Here all the familiar strands, the animals in the stable, the kings, the shepherds, the cradle songs, the prophetic, the mystical, and the dancing and celebration are woven together in new colours for the new.

"Christ Church Choir’s 22 lyrical carols are drawn from composers of earlier generations, among them Bax, Howells and a gem in Ives’s Little Star of Bethlehem. The mellifluous singing cossets some exquisite music that the disc tenderly rescues from unfamiliarity"
(Daily Telegraph)

"Darlington and his choir give us twentieth century carols in the cathedral choir tradition, all with ready popular appeal.  A bracing antidote to the usual glut of Victorian Christmas fare"
(International Record Review)
