Program Notes

Four treasured carols from Wales, England, and Ireland comprise this colorfully scored and emotionally varied medley. The cherished tunes Suogan, I Saw Three Ships, Good People All, This Christmastime, and The Seven Joys of Mary establish the slow-fast-slow-fast form of the medley. Lush and charming, this setting is a real musical treat.
