{"product_id":"christmas-is-coming-temperley-satb-s-b","title":"Christmas is Coming Temperley SATB S\u0026B","description":"A collection of carols for Advent and Christmas composed, arranged and edited by Nicholas Temperley.\r\n\r\nBoth a dedicated carol singer and an authority on the history of English music, Nicholas Temperley here offers a unique book of 37 carols dating from the fifteenth century to the present.\r\n\r\nFor over fifty years he has sung, edited and composed carols each Christmas, and in \u003ci\u003eChristmas is Coming\u003c\/i\u003e the fruit of his enthusiasm is combined with his wealth of knowledge to produce an outstanding and original new collection. \r\n\r\nAs John Rutter observes in his Foreword, the book does not pointlessly duplicate what can be found in many other carol books, but has a personality and purpose of its own.\r\n\r\n22 fresh and practical arrangements include carols from Austria, France, Germany, Mexico, Poland and the USA, alongside music both rare and familiar from the rich heritage of the English carol tradition. As well as eight of his personal favourites, from J. S. Bach to Charles Ives, the author includes seven new compositions of his own, settings of medieval and traditional texts that reveal his skill as a choral composer whose command of style ranges from the humorous to the profound.\r\n\r\nIn addition to sample programmes and translations, there are invaluable notes on the performance and history of individual items, plus an historical summary of the genre as a whole: everything in fact to make \u003ci\u003eChristmas is Coming\u003c\/i\u003e an indispensable companion for singers who wish to enrich the seasonal repertoire for concerts, churches and traditional Yuletide carolling.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45723847754038,"sku":null,"price":10.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/9402\/3478\/products\/STAD96_1.jpg?v=1695872265","url":"https:\/\/southlondonmusicshop.co.uk\/products\/christmas-is-coming-temperley-satb-s-b","provider":"South London Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
