Full of vibrancy and drama, Saint Nicolas is performed alongside the fabulous BBC Concert Orchestra and features tenor Mark Le Brocq as well as Coldfall Primary School Choir, members of Hertfordshire Chorus and Hannah Brine Choirs. The ever-popular A Ceremony of Carols is performed with harpist Sally Pryce, with both works conducted by David Temple. A Ceremony of Carols (1942\/3) and Saint Nicolas (1948) are the earliest works that Benjamin Britten composed for public performance primarily for boys' voices. These performances, recorded here at London's All Saint's Church and Alexandra Palace Theatre, truly show how glorious these two pieces of music are, and why they have remained so popular.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Saint Nicolas, Op. 42 \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Introduction \u003cbr\u003e1.3 The Birth of Nicolas \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Nicolas devotes himself to God \u003cbr\u003e1.5 He journeys to Palestine \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Nicolas comes to Myra and is chosen Bishop \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Nicolas from Prison \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Nicolas and the Pickled Boys \u003cbr\u003e1.9 His Piety and Marvellous Works \u003cbr\u003e1.10 The Death of Nicolas \u003cbr\u003e1.11 A Ceremony of Carols, Op. 28 \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Procession \u003cbr\u003e1.13 Wolcum yole! \u003cbr\u003e1.14 There is no rose \u003cbr\u003e1.15 That yongë child \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Balulalow \u003cbr\u003e1.17 As dew in Aprille \u003cbr\u003e1.18 This little Babe \u003cbr\u003e1.19 Interlude \u003cbr\u003e1.20 In freezing winter night \u003cbr\u003e1.21 Spring Carol \u003cbr\u003e1.22 Deo Gracias! \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Recession\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Britten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32720930930759,"sku":"40924861","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3862718-2610420_e8eab1e3-fcde-411f-9b2f-3e759700d4f6.jpg?v=1711720672","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/britten-saint-nicolas","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
