Church Bells – Past Three a Clock O Come, All Ye Faithful Dino Dong! Merrily on High In the Bleak Midwinter Once in Royal David’s City Sussex Carol Quelle est cette odeur agréable? Il est né le divin enfant Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen Stille Nacht Still, still, still Singt und klingt The Holly and the Ivy The Three Kings Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day Away in a Manger Christmas Song (Personent hodie) In dulci jubilo Jesus Christ the Apple Tree Hark! The Herald-angels Sing – Church bells
The story of the birth of Jesus more than two thousand years ago has been the source of inspiration for countless poets and musicians, as well as practitioners of other forms of art. The infant, born of a virgin in a lowly cattle shed, because there was no room in the inn; the angel of the Lord appearing to shepherds in the field and bringing them tidings of great joy; three kings, led by a star, bearing their precious gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh: these are elements of the Gospel narrative which have rekindled the imagination of successive creative artists, providing a wealth of vocal and instrumental music with which to celebrate the festival of Christmas. The music, which is sung and played today in Christian churches and in concert halls, spans several centuries and embraces many styles, ranging from elaborate works such as the Weihnachts-Oratorium (Christmas Oratorio) by Johann Sebastian Bach and L’enfance du Christ (The Childhood of Christ) by Hector Berlioz to simple hymns and carols. With their typical clean, vital, buoyant style, Neville Marriner and the Academy bring a liveliness and joy to this selection, which begins and ends with the sound of church bells, and interweaves favourite carols with Christmas classics by Bach and Berlioz. | | | (Sorry, download not available in your country) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
