A Choral Christmas (Win!)
Posted on December 19, 2011


Today’s contributions come to you courtesy of Christine Gora, the owner of Kids Music Toys, who has kindly agreed to a giveaway, but more about that later in this post!

First up is a carol by the English composer, conductor and arranger of mainly choral music, John Rutter.

Christmas Lullaby



The next piece of music is by another English composer, Benjamin Britten. In 1942 he composed a work called “A Ceremony of Carols” which included this song.

This Little Babe – Benjamin Britten



This particular song is based on a Basque medieval carol. Enjoy this version by this version by this group of talented ladies.

Gabriel’s Message – All Angels.



The words to this final hymn were written by the English Methodist minister, Frederick Pratt Green in 1971. It was arranged by Gustav Holst, (another English composer, known for The Planets) to a medieval melody, originally composed in 1582.

Long Ago, Prophets Knew
