Digital Booklet
|
The Chapel Choir of the Royal Hospital Chelsea and director William Vann offer a joyful celebration of Christmas with Carols from Chelsea, ranging from Franz Gruber’s spine-tingling Stille Nacht, especially moving in the original German, to Irving Berlin’s White Christmas. Organist James Orford accompanies the choir and performs solo pieces on the programme that spotlights several British composers, including Renaissance genius William Byrd and contemporary composers Francis Pott and John Rutter.
