Product DescriptionThe Sixteen contrasts the dramatic intensity of music by some of todays most admired composers with such traditional and modern carols as Boris Ords Adam lay ybounden and Henry Walford Davies version of O little town of Bethlehem. Much-loved modern classics including John Rutters There is a flower, Morten Lauridsens O magnum mysterium and James MacMillans O radiant dawn also appear on this beautiful album and there are many others which, in the course of time, will also become classics; every one of them by their unashamed simplicity, captures the joy and sincerity of this most wonderful of seasons. This album provides a perfect peaceful and uplifting antidote to the hectic pre-Christmas rush.
