Description

Drawing upon the music of various nations and eras, this uniformly excellent Christmas sampler has something for all tastes. Along with a moving choral performance of Franz Gruber's "Stille Nacht" ("Silent Night") and a bold "A New Year's Gift (Greensleeves)" by Paul Hillier and the Theatre of Voices, J.S. Bach is represented by excerpts from his Magnificat, BWV 243a and Cantate de Noël, BWV 122, conducted by Philippe Herreweghe. Other selections include Gustav Holst's exquisite a capella carol "In theBleak Midwinter," a portion of Hector Berlioz's L'Enfance du Christ, Heinrich Schütz's gorgeous "Heute ist Christus geboren," and the Scottish harp song "The Reel of Tullochgorum," while Anonymous Four sing "Grene growth the holy" by none other than Henry VIII.
