Bring some festive warmth to your concerts with this classic carol.

BrookWright
  The famous carol was written by Gustav Holst

Thursday, 21 November 2024

        

The latest festive release from BrookWright Music is this fine transcription of Mack Wilberg's haunting setting of the much loved carol is based on the version sung by The King's Singers and The Choir of King's College.

Well loved

It is a reflective arrangement of Gustav Holst' festive carol and remains faithful to the Wilberg choral setting. The arrangement underpins the well-loved melody with its harmonies and chromaticism.
