Ikon under David Hill gives Choral Music for Christmas in "Venite, Gaudete!" off Naxos


Ikon under David Hill gives Choral Music for Christmas in "Venite, Gaudete!" off Naxos
Choral Music (Christmas) - NILES, J.J. / JOUBERT, J. / KIRKPATRICK, W.J. / HOLST, G. (Venite, Gaudete: Music for the Christmas Season) (Ikon, D. Hill)

This glorious programme represents both the unique magic of Christmas carols, and the deeply rooted tradition of re-inventing their words and music for the times in which they are performed. 

From David Hill’s unashamedly lush, close-part harmonies enhancing Silent Night, to Eric Whitacre’s hallmark luminous vocal textures in "Lux aurumque," this recording is a superb celebration of the moving atmosphere and festive nature of the Christmas season.
Label: Naxos
