Come To
Bethlehem is a
Christmas carol by
Dom Gregory
Murray. It takes its
melody from Capriol
Suite, and is scored
for SATB choir, with a
Piano reduction for
rehearsalpurposes.
Capriol Suite is
a set of six dances in
the Renaissance style.
They form the most famous
work of the English
composer Peter
Warlock (1894-1930),
who also achieved fame
for his
scandalouslifestyle. Each
dance is short, and draws
inspiration from the
tunes found in a 1589
dance manual.
Warlock was an
ardent admirer of Delius
throughout his career,
and his harmonic style is
very similar. The whole
suite waswritten over a
single weekend in October
1926.
