These
Carol-Preludes were
written in 2008, but the
idea was in the
composer's mind for many
years before this.
Essentially, they revive
the old style of the
Chorale- Prelude, but
using carol tunes instead
of hymns or chorales.
They are derived from
German, French and
English melodies - some
of the German tunes were
found in my mother's old
school songbook from her
schooldays in Germany
after the First World
War.
