Twelve Days
PEGASUS: Twelve Days – A Celebration of Christmas
The first CD release by Pegasus features a wealth of both popular and unfamiliar repertoire. Most of the carols are by English composers, many still living, a testament to a tradition that is alive and thriving in this country. Christmas would not be complete without John Rutter, represented here by a setting of a 15th century text, There is a Flow’r. There are two world premiere recordings – Silent Night and Infant Holy (sung in the original Polish) – arranged by friends of the choir, and the collection is rounded off with The Twelve Days of Christmas in a witty arrangement by Andrew Carter.
