The Album
The CD version of “Christmas Night” contains 22 Christmas carols spanning more than six centuries. Most of these have become well known thanks to the Christmas Eve Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols at King's College in Cambridge. Some arrangements for the carols on the album were written by conductors or arrangers who have worked at King's College over the years.
Most carols on the album were written centuries ago, although several are relatively young. For instance, “Candlelight carol” was written in 1984 by Rutter. Others are a mix of old and new: “There is a flower" was written by fifteenth century monk John Audely, with new music by John Rutter.
