The unique radiance of traditional English choral singing that made Agnus Dei such a phenomenon is displayed in this set of international Christmas music by Higginbottom & The Choir of New College, Oxford. Mixing familiar tunes with less frequently heard gems, the carol texts take the listener from Annunciation through Epiphany with music from around the world - including the eloquent Poulenc Christmas Motets and Herbert Howell's haunting carol-anthems.

Tracklist:

I wonder as I ander
Adam lay ybounden
Alma Redemptoris
The angel Gabriel
Ave Maria
A spotless rose
There is no rose
The little road to Bethlehem
Once in royal David's city
Stille Nacht
Sing lullaby
Gloria sei dir gesungen
O magnum mysterium
In dulci jublio
O Jesulein süB
While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Quem vidistis pastores
Shepherds shake off your drowsy sleep
Adeste fideles
Videntes stellam
Rocking Carol
Here is the little door
Hark the heralds angels sing
