Traditional carols and Christmas anthems are brought together in this Christmas Carol Collection. The many emotions of Christmas, from anticipation and joy to awesome wonder, are represented in the music and often poignant texts. Spanning half a millennium of the Christmas tradition, "What Sweeter Music" contains many of the most beautiful carols, old and new, performed in the splendid acoustics of St Alban's, Holborn by the London-based vocal ensemble, CONSORTIUM.
