Christmas Double Takes: One Text, Two Choral Interpretations
One Text, Two Choral Interpretations

Settings of classic music for the Christmas season include settings of Ave Maria, Magnificat, and The Lamb, by such composers as Purcell, Howells, and Tavener, as well as Medieval and modern settings of English texts.
