Par DARKE HAROLD. Love came down at Christmas (SATB) Cradle Hymn (Solo or unison and piano) A Christmas Carmen (SATB) The three carols in this new collection date from the early years of the twentieth century, but they have a perennial freshness that is typical of Darke's other enduring choral works, such as the much-loved carol In the bleak midwinter. They may be sung equally effectively as individual items, or together as a short anthology of seasonal music. A solo voice or unison singing would be equally effective in Cradle Hymn, which offers a refreshingly unfamiliar tune to time-honoured words. A Christmas Carmen makes for a rousing conclusion with a seasonalmessage of goodwill./ Feuillet / Chorale

Par RAMSEY ROBERT. Edited by Edward Thompson The contents of this volume include both liturgical and domestic music. The 'Commencement Song', Inclina Domine, was an exercise for the composer’s Mus. B degree. The Te Deum settings and a setting of the Litany were probably written for use in the chapel of Peterhouse, Cambridge, a centre of high church observance at the time./ Recueil / Chorale
