This charming collection of carols for upper voices is perfect for choirs looking for fresh and engaging repertoire for Christmas. Several new pieces have been composed especially for the
collection: Alan Bullard's jubilant carol 'Ring the Bells'; Cecilia McDowall's exquisite lullaby setting of a William Blake text; an enchanting piece by Howard Skempton, perfectly crafted in his
unique voice; and a clever wassail-style carol from Roderick Williams. These appear alongside popular carols by John Rutter and Bob Chilcott in new arrangements for upper voices, and a number of
carols set to familiar and lesser-known texts. With pieces largely in two or three parts, and occasional unison, For Him all Stars is sure to delight audiences and inspire both young and adult choirs
alike.
An accompaniment for strings for Rutter's 'Love came down at Christmas' is available on hire.

- 'Good new music for upper voices is often surprisingly hard to come by, so choirs may well fall with gratitude upon the 15 items of For Him all Stars . . . Yet if nothing breaks the mould,
Alan Bullard's exuberant 'Ring all the bells' is first-rate, Jenny McLeod's powerful 'Vulcan' provides welcome variety by exploring lower registers, while the gentle euphony of Howard Skempton's 'Into
this world' also offers something distinctive.' Matthew Greenall, The Singer, Feb 07
