Reviews

• 'These are high-class arrangements . . . The arrangements themselves are consistently pleasurable, and many are a joy. Ken Burton . . . contributes five of the 12 numbers. His work seems to go from strength to strength, always writing from inside the style, never doing a fussy or flashy thing where a simple thing will do, consistently providing both an element aof surprise and emotional uplift where needed . . . Multi-talented Roderick Williams provides a different style of arranging entirely - clever, self-aware, tricksy, virtuoso . . . The book is attractively presented, not too bulky, and the music, even where quite complex, is clearly laid out and easy to read.' -Matthew Greenall, The Singer Oct 04
• 'Since Ken Burton and Bob Chilcott have both been involved in writing and arranging music for this book, it is no wonder that the result is a collection of fresh and exciting songs . . . Any choir looking for something lively, challenging and a bit different this Christmas should definitely take a look at this collection of songs. Highly recommended.' -Church Music Quarterly, September 04
