Album Description
This album brings together some of Elektra's favourite pieces of Christmas repertoire in English: thirteen short sacred works - nine outstanding and lyrical offerings by some of Canada's best living composter and a further four from Norway, England, and the US. The music may be new to you, but the words will resonate deeply, as many have been sung for decades and even centuries in other settings. Enjoy this gift of Christmas tumes - it's music mot only for the bleak midwinter but also all year long!
