Choirs looking for the perfect half to their Christmas program will find this option very attractive. The music is lovely and eminently singable for any choir. Jon has arranged eleven familiar Christmas carols to accompany the reading of the Dylan Thomas classic, A Child's Christmas in Wales. The mood created is delicious. Listen to the sound samples to learn how the narration works with the singing. The Vancouver Chamber Choir had the reader (of Welsh descent) read from an arm-chair under a lamp, stage left, on a slightly elevated platform - very effective! The choral score is marked with narration cues - and the narrators script is marked with choir cues. Everything flows as smoothly as a sled over snow.
