Opis

for SATB accompanied and unaccompanied
Previously published under the title 'Gaudete ', this collection of ten exciting carol arrangements has been re-covered to complement Bob Chilcott's first Christmas choral anthology, Bob Chilcott Carols 1. From the simple, understated beauty of 'Away in a manger' to the exuberant jazz waltz version of 'We wish you a merry Christmas', this volume takes a fresh look at classics of the Christmas repertoire. Orchestral material is available on hire for the accompanied pieces.

Recenzje

This is gentle Bob Chilcott; the pieces here are much less demanding than some of his individual-copy stuff, and the ten carols are well known . . . All are fun to sing, and free of unnecessary difficulties; a couple of parts split, and do try the Sussex Carol, which works surprisingly well having been chucked into 7/8.
