New Choral Music from Oxford University Press
In the composer's 70th birthday year, new Christmas publications by John Rutter include Candlelight Carol for choir & chamber ensemble, alongside Shepherd's Pipe Carol and his settings of Sans Day Carol and the popular spiritual Go, tell it on the mountain for choir & small orchestra, full score and parts.
New summer publications from OUP also include Dances of Time by Bob Chilcott, a diverse collection of five choral songs addressing different aspects of time. Texts ranging from biblical to twentieth century are set to Chilcott's attractive and characterful music, drawing on elements of dance forms in various styles.
The heartfelt upper-voice arrangement of Will Todd's My Lord has Come would make an ideal centrepiece for a Christmas or Epiphany concert or service.
