Product details
Ho hum - another carol CD, you say. Ah yes, but this one is
different!
The Choir Of Ormond College sings several carols long held in
affection around the world but adds to these with newer works
accompanied by renowned Australian pianist, Stephen McIntyre. The
organ is not forgotten as Rhys Boak accompanies four of the
carols on the mighty Rieger organ in the Scots' Church,
Melbourne.
The 24 carols included come from England, Ireland, Wales,
Germany, Austria, France, Russia and Australia and features not
only the title track but everything from Silent Night
and Deck the Hall to In dulci jubilo and
Howell's Tryste Noel.
