Vaughan Williams was (with Cecil Sharp) one of the foremost composers of folk music during the early 1900s. This is a collection of Christmas carols as he arranged them, thus presenting his view of Christmas in the first half of the 20th century. He also wrote four completely new carols for the Oxford Book of Carols, which are also included here.
This release includes world premiere recordings of two sets of carols performed by the outstanding Chapel Choir of the Royal Hospital Chelsea under the directorship of William Vann.
History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
