Jonathan Willcocks

Opis

for SATB and piano Composed in celebration of David Willcocks's 95th birthday, Jonathan Willcocks sets a suitably uplifting traditional text from Cornwall, the county of his father's birth. Telling the story of the shepherd's and wise men's visits to Jesus, this carol is both joyous and sprightly, and would be suitable for both Christmas and Epiphany.

Recenzje

Jonathan Willcocks has set the text of The First Nowell to a lively and exciting melody - certainly not congregational, but great fun when singers and pianist have mastered the rhythmic patterns. It is not difficult and would be an exciting ending to a concert.
