Alan Bullard

O Come, Emmanuelfor SATB and organ or piano or small orchestra or chamber group

O Come, Emmanuel is a strikingly original work for Advent and Christmas, suitable for both church and concert choirs. It is based on the seven Great ‘O’ Antiphons, and fragments of the well-known plainsong hymn permeate the work. To these, Bullard has added settings of other Advent texts and hymns; a number of the movements make highly effective separate pieces and anthems.

Instrumental material is available on hire/rental — 1 each of fl, ob, cl in A, bsn/bass cl, tpt in B flat, hn in F, and either string quintet (2 vlns, vla, vc, db), or string orchestra, or keyboard (pno/org). The keyboard part is an alternative to the string parts, and not the same as the accompaniment printed in the vocal score.

arr. Carol Barnett

Angelus ad virginem (Gabriel to Mary came)for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied, with optional tambourine

The familiar melody weaves between the vocal parts, and the piece is characterized by medieval harmonies and a rocking thirds motif. An English singing translation is presented alongside the original Latin.


Richard Causton

Cradle Songfor SATB and optional keyboard

A mysterious, other-worldly character complements the sixteenth-century text of this compelling alternative setting. With a restrained tempo, some dark harmonies, and sonorous, overlapping textures, Cradle Song creates an atmosphere of hushed wonder.

Lulajze, Jesuniufor SATB (some divisi) with SAT solos, unaccompanied

Chilcott gives the exquisite melody of this gentle lullaby to the alto soloist, setting it above a mellifluous background of rich harmonies and gentle polyphony from the choir. Presented with the original Polish text and an English singing translation.


Bob Chilcott

What sweeter musicfor SAATTBB unaccompanied

The carol opens with hushed, interweaving choral lines, creating a soft veil of sound that expands texturally and dynamically into an expressive central section. The sustained melodic interest in every part combines to create an atmospheric work that is a true pleasure to sing.

As the bells ringfor SATB and piano

With a lively tempo, dance-like rhythms, and bright harmonies, Chilcott’s music perfectly expresses the festive joy of the text. The uplifting melody is interspersed with jubilant bell-like tones, and the driving chords in the piano add an underlying sense of excitement.


Bob Chilcott

The Advent Candlefor SATB and piano

A sense of anticipation for the birth of Jesus is created here. Underpinned by a gently rippling piano part throughout, this tender Advent carol opens with a simple choral melody that blossoms into expressive harmonies before the music gently fades away.

Francis Pott

Hodie Christus natus estfor SATB unaccompanied

A ‘vivace’ tempo marking and offset rhythms combine with Pott’s uniquely striking harmonies and undulating polyphony to form a joyous piece that will contrast well with more traditional carols.


John Rutter

All bells in paradisefor SATB and organ

This gentle yet uplifting carol was first performed during the 2012 King’s College, Cambridge Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols. Rutter’s gift for melody is in evidence throughout the work, with a sense of hushed awe leading to moments of glorious optimism.
