Three Carols for Upper Voices by Britten have become contemporary classics. The serene Sweet Was The Song contrasts with a moving lament on the hardships of Christmas, A Wealden Trio, (both of which are unaccompanied, but which have in this edition a piano reduction for rehearsal purposes), and a memorable setting of Hardy's fine poem The Oxen (accompanied). The Choral Programme Series is now a well-established programming tool for many choirs as it offers a wealth of fresh material from many eras and in many styles.
