Adapted from Dickens' original 1843 manuscript by Skylark's artistic director Matthew Guard, this musical retelling is brought to life through a stunning original score by composer Benedict Sheehan, seamlessly interwoven with beloved Christmas carols. Baranski's expressive narration guides listeners through Ebenezer Scrooge's transformative journey, while Skylark's rich vocal textures illuminate the emotional depth of the story-from haunting winter stillness to jubilant celebration. The result is a deeply moving and innovative interpretation of a holiday classic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 The Truth from Above \u003cbr\u003e1.2 In the Counting House \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Surplus Population \u003cbr\u003e1.4 God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Marley's Ghost \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Mankind Was My Business \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Remember \u003cbr\u003e1.8 The Ghost of Christmas Past \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Little Fan \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Sussex Carol \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Gain Is Loss \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Auld Lang Syne \u003cbr\u003e1.13 The Ghost of Christmas Present \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Not a Handsome Family \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Silent Night \u003cbr\u003e1.16 A Vacant Seat \u003cbr\u003e1.17 A Child Himself \u003cbr\u003e1.18 Deck the Halls \u003cbr\u003e1.19 The Bell Struck Twelve \u003cbr\u003e1.20 Ghost of the Future \u003cbr\u003e1.21 The Body of a Man \u003cbr\u003e1.22 My Little Child \u003cbr\u003e1.23 Coventry Carol \u003cbr\u003e1.24 The Spirits of All Three \u003cbr\u003e1.25 Poverty Carol \u003cbr\u003e1.26 Christmas Day \u003cbr\u003e1.27 Back Payments \u003cbr\u003e1.28 God Bless Us, Every One \u003cbr\u003e1.29 It Came Upon the Midnight Clear\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Matthew Guard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42205758619719,"sku":"45565144","price":22.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4461341-3455396.jpg?v=1762947652","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/matthew-guard-a-christmas-carol-compact-discs","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
