About this product

In the Bleak Midwinter reflects a Christmas that was unlike any other in recent history. Much of the music on this album was heard around the world as part of the 103rd Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, a service that has been broadcast live every year since 1930. But for Christmas Eve 2020, the continuation of this uniquely long-running tradition was not to be. A full service, with lessons, carols, organ voluntaries and prayers, had been recorded in an empty Chapel for use in the event that a live broadcast became impossible, and it was this that was called upon just days before Christmas Eve. For it's millions of listeners, the broadcast meant the continuation of a Christmas tradition in a year when so many were without their friends and family, and without so much of what makes Christmas special. Music from Christmas Eve is supplemented on this album by a selection of specially recorded tracks. It marks not only a moment of light in a time of considerable darkness for so many, but the beginning of a new era for the Choir of King's College under the direction of Daniel Hyde, with this his first full album at King's since his appointment in 2019. Album Tracks 1. Gauntlett Once in Royal David's City 2. Goldschmidt A Tender Shoot 3. Bach How Shall I Fitly Meet Thee? 4. Darke In the Bleak Midwinter 5. Of the Father's Heart Begotten 6. Angels, from the Realms of Glory 7. Quilter An Old Carol (I Sing of a Maiden) 8. In Dulci Jubilo 9. Moore The Angel Gabriel 10. O Come, All Ye Faithful 11. Sussex Carol (On Christmas Night) 12. While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night 13. Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendour 14. Leuner The Shepherd's Cradle Song (Wiegenlied) 15. Holst In the Bleak Midwinter 16. As I Sat on a Sunny Bank (I Saw Three Ships) 17. Still, Still, Still 18. Martin Prelude to 'Hark! the Herald Angels Sing'
