Recent Christmas Choral Music Discoveries worth sharing
-
Two for me:
William Mathias' suite Ave Rex. I recently rediscovered him while cleaning out my choral library this summer. We are singing
Sir Christemas this Christmas eve.

The Little Road to Bethlehem. I didn't know this beautiful carol until I heard Jeff Morse's recording (of the same title) of the Choir and Choristers at St. Stephen's earlier this year.
