A
perfect seasonal choice,
Onward we go is a
consummate example of
Thomas Hewitt Jonesâ??s
feeling for young voices,
and his passion for
sharing the joy of
Christmas through
memorable tunes. A
beautiful, arching melody
carries the delightful
verse by Canon Gordon
Giles, which tells of
children singing as they
journey to the manger.
Shepherds, angels and the
Magi accompany them on
their way, bearing gifts
of love to honour the
incarnation in faith,
hope and reverence.
Expressive and
irresistible, words and
music go straight to the
heart, with a warmth
especially inspired by
the dedicatees,
chorister-tutor Caroline
Lenton-Ward and the
childrenâ??s choir of St
Stephenâ??s, South
Dulwich, a church which
also played a formative
part in the composerâ??s
musical upbringing.
Onward we go may
be performed by unison
voices with organ or
piano, or with organ or
piano and additional
flexible instrumental
ensemble including any
available upper strings
and woodwind, plus
optional cello, bass
guitar or double bass,
mark tree and tubular
bells.
A set of
score and parts for the
optional ensemble (Cat.
No. Y373) will be
available to
purchase.
