William Byrd: O Magnum Mysterium

Noel! is an exciting collection for mixed voice choirs, selected and edited by David Hill. The contents range from the Renaissance to the present: the polyphony of Victoria and Byrd, via Bach, familiar settings of traditional and lesser known carols through the ages, and works by today's composers including Richard Rodney Bennett, Judith Bingham, John Tavener and Judith Weir. Mixed voice choirs of all levels will find here new arrangements of favourite carols as well as stimulating works for the Christmas season, from the easy to learn to the more challenging and unconventional. / Choeur SATB

A festive season motet for unaccompanied SATB voices. This choral work is among some of the finest of the late Tudor and Elizabethan periods and is available here in scholarly edition with a practical piano reduction for rehearsal purposes only.
