Program Notes

Candlelight Carol is a Christmas carol with music and lyrics by the English choral composer and conductor John Rutter. The carol was written in 1984, and was first recorded by Rutter's own group, the Cambridge Singers, on their 1987 album Christmas Night. It was commissioned by John Romeri, then Director of Music at the Church of the Assumption in Bellevue, Pennsylvania.

Candlelight Carol focuses on describing the Nativity of Jesus, focusing on the love of Mary (mother of Jesus) for her son Jesus.
