Christmas Spirituals for Choirs: Vocal score (. . . for Choirs Collections) - Softcover

These are high-class arrangements . . . The arrangements themselves are consistently pleasurable, and many are a joy. Ken Burton . . . contributes five of the 12 numbers. His work seems to go from strength to strength, always writing from inside the style, never doing a fussy or flashy thing where a simple thing will do, consistently providing both an element aof surprise and emotional uplift where needed . . . Multi-talented Roderick Williams provides a different style of arranging entirely - clever, self-aware, tricksy, virtuoso . . . The book is attractively presented, not too bulky, and the music, even where quite complex, is clearly laid out and easy to read. (Matthew Greenall, The Singer Oct 04)

Since Ken Burton and Bob Chilcott have both been involved in writing and arranging music for this book, it is no wonder that the result is a collection of fresh and exciting songs . . . Any choir looking for something lively, challenging and a bit different this Christmas should definitely take a look at this collection of songs. Highly recommended.
