Signum Classics releases "Nova! Nova! Joy to the World" by The Hertfordshire Chorus

Updated Nov. 10, 2023.

Label's Description: 

Christmas carols have a universal appeal stemming from the tradition of music being played, sung, re- arranged and rewritten by different generations in many different countries and over a number of centuries. Louis Halsey’s Nova! Nova!, a collection of new arrangements of many of the most well-known and beautiful carols from as far back as medieval times, represents perhaps the largest collection of carols by a single composer for many years. Hertfordshire Chorus and David Temple have record- ed 23 of these carols in this beautifully presented new collection, including English, German, French, Czech, Basque, Welsh and Irish melodies.
