With her we shall travel from Germany to England, from France to the United States, with a collection of famous carols showing that the Christmas tradition is universal. Either with a large baroque orchestra or accompanied by organ, string quartet, lyra or guitar and bass, we will find with happiness some of the most famous of the season's songs, including Adeste Filelis, Panis Angelicus, Silent Night, Ave Maria (by Gounod and Schubert), What Child Is This, O Holy Night, Joy to the World, as well as a beautiful selection of well-known Christmas Spirituals.
Full of colour, this wonderful selection of sacred carols, Shout for Joy, is a delightful musical companion which will be at your side for the whole of Christmastide.  Price: $24.98 |
