Description
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth. . .
What better wat to celebrate Christmas than with Maureen Forrester's favourite music? The world- famous contralto has selected twelve carols from around the world to reflect the joy of the season. From the cheery invitation to dance in the Catalonian "Froom, Foom, Foom!" to the spiritual "In Dulci Jubilo" to the tender anonymous Czech hymn "Rocking." there is music to suit every mood and every taste
Illustrator Frances Tyrrell has set the carols in contemporary cityscapes. After all, the beauty of Christmas doesn't belong only in the past: its glory is here and now.
The carols have been arranged by Charles Heller. Notes on the origins of each piece appear in a useful afterword.
