Christmas carols with a difference: a set of brand new carols in rock style for upper voices. Catchy tunes and pulsating pop rhythms designed to appeal to all ages. Three brilliant and idiomatic composers: Christopher Norton (Microjazz), Sue Furlong (D'Aon Ghuth), and introducing Andrew Milburn. The volume is accompanied by an attractive CD containing sample performances and colourful backing tracks.

Customer Reviews
"My school's choirs have used a number of Andrew Milburn's pieces over the years and they have always gone down excelently at the Christmas concerts etc, as well as being fun to perform. Definitely worth getting for any youth vocal groups interested in more modern music."
Britten's pacifist masterwork, combining war poetry by Wilfred Owen with the Latin Requiem Mass, is included in the Masterworks Library of full scores, ideal for conductors, students and music lovers.
