A tender and simple setting of this well-loved carol for SATB Choir and Piano (there is a small amount of divided soprano writing).
A simple 4-part arrangement of a traditional Normandy tune for the popular carol, "Away in a Manger". Written for Kettering Choral Society’s Christmas Concert on 13th December 2013
New arrangement of Sweet Christmas Bells, a traditional variant on the carol While Shepherds Watched. This is for four-part choir and piano with ad-lib flute. It contains fun choral effects and is full of the sounds of bells. Fast and jaunty, it will liven up any Christmas service or concert. The harmony is fairly simple and should be easy for any competent choir to pick up.
Straightforward setting for SATB Choir and Piano of this well-loved carol. Written for The Melody Choir's Christmas 2021 performances
SATB arrangement of Puer Nobis Nascitur (Unto us is Born a Son). Words in both Latin and English. Challenging piano part. (TTBarB version in recording no longer available)
An exciting, fast, loud and rhythmically challenging version of the well-known carol with words by Charles Wesley. Not for the faint-hearted, but a dramatic and powerful arrangement. Perfect for the choir that wants to show off with something both familiar and new, for a Christmas concert.
