Ein Kranz von Lobechören-This is an unusual setting for treble voices and harp. The words of the carols are largely the product of mostly anonymous 15th and 16th century writers. They retain their originality by Britten's extensive use of old English language. The work opens and ends with the choir processing to plainsong and the sections in-between deal with the traditional stories surrounding the birth of Christ.

The Harp part for Patrick Hawes' 2013 piece Quem Pastores.In this atmospheric three minute piece the Choir and Harp combine to create a befitting backdrop to the Christmas story with the Shepherds the Wise Men and the Angels offering their praise to the newborn Christ.

The original version for solo soprano and SATB choir appeared on Patrickâ??s debut album Blue in Blue. It was subsequently recorded by Hayley Westenra for her Number-One-selling album Odyssey and in 2014 by Voces8 choir to produce a version for them which featured on their Number-One-selling album Eventide. Arranged here for lever harp from the piano version by Elinor Evans the music reflects the heartfelt longing for the joys of heaven a happiness to be shared in a future moment of meeting expressed in the words.
