Suitable for

Christmas

Reviews

  • 'Cumulatively, the repetitions, the incrementally rising pitch, the call and response patterns, the thickening harmonies - all allied to strong, foot-nudging rhythms - generate a glorious effect...' -Choir & Organ, November/December 07
  • 'Once the syncopations and, for those who decide to rise to the challenge of essaying the piece in the original Igbo language, the articulation of the words have been mastered, this is a straightforward piece . . . Thrilling in almost any acoustic, so long as the choir is large enough to suit it, this would be an unusual and exciting addition to a more conventionally Western Christmas.' -The Organ, November 07

The specification in this catalogue, including without limitation price, format, extent, number of illustrations, and month of publication, was as accurate as possible at the time the catalogue was compiled.
