My Kind of Carol

 You voted for your favourite carols. We recorded them for you.

For many of us, hearing the first carols during Advent brings the realisation that Christmas is coming.  That was certainly the feeling of Tablet readers who nominated and voted for their favourite carols last year.

We are now pleased to bring you this beautiful CD featuring the award-winning Exmoor Singers of London singing Tablet readers' Top 10 carols, some that didn't quite make that list plus a selection of more unusual ones, including At the Nativity and Peaceful Was the Night which, as far as we know, have not been commercially recorded before. 

The CD covers the whole Advent season right through to Epiphany, and is accompanied by a booklet containing all the lyrics for the carols.

Full CD track listing

1. Of the Father's Love Begotten
2. A Spotless Rose
3. Gabriel's Message (The Angel Gabriel)
4. Bethlehem Down
5. O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Veni, Veni, Emmanuel)
6. In the Bleak Midwinter
7. Christe, Redemptor Omnium
8. O Little Town of Bethlehem
9. Peaceful Was The Night
10. Once in Royal David's City
11. O Little One Sweet, O Little One Mild
12. O Holy Night (Cantique de Noël/Christmas Song)
13. Stille Nacht (Silent Night)
14. Candlelight Carol
15. It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
16. At the Nativity (Gloomy Night)
17. Good King Wenceslas
