Internationally known composer Colin Mawby makes his American recording debut with On Christmas Night, a collection of traditional Christmas carols and anthems composed with a subtle Irish twist. Colin’s primary focus is on the inner meaning of the verses; he uses the music to paint the images evoked by the text.
Orchestrated for SATB choir, the songs from On Christmas Night are elemental enough to accommodate virtually any skill level. They are beautifully written, striking and effective. Each of the carols and anthems in this collection is a unique addition to the standard Christmas repertoire, ideal for seasonal liturgical use, enlivening Christmas concerts or for simply enjoying at home.
