Description:

The Sixteen's new Christmas album! The Sixteen's new Christmas album is now available! The Sixteen, founded by Harry Christophers in 1979, have maintained the world's highest standards for over 40 years. The Sixteen's "Traditional Christmas Carol Collection" (Vol. 1: COR16043, Vol. 2: COR16085), a must-have for the Christmas season and a masterpiece for enjoying the most beautiful harmonies, features classic carols and new works by Holst, Vaughan Williams, and others. While the first album (Vol. 1: COR16043, Vol. 2: COR16085) focused on standard carols and arrangements by Holst, Vaughan Williams, and others, this album contrasts traditional and contemporary carols, creating a choral feast suitable for the Christmas season. The album includes Bob Chilcott's gorgeous "Antiphona of Advent" based on a monophonic chant that foreshadows the arrival of Christmas, Mykola Leontovich's popular "Carol of the Bells," Richard Rodney Bennett's "Susanni (Lullaby)," and Eric Whitaker's "Golden Light," among others, while also including Interspersed with simple and beautiful traditional carols, this is a piece that is full of flavor.
