Billesdon Carols

Gavin Bryars' two Billesdon Carols - New Prince, new Pomp and The Golden Carol of the Three Kings - were written especially for the village of Billesdon's Christmas carol service where the composer lives. Bryars, who is renowned for his beautiful and evocative vocal writing, has turned to a far more traditional style for these two setting though the music while retaining his own unique voice. Each carol lasts approximately 4 minutes and are perfect for any amateur choir looking to diversify their choral repertoire.
