Description
The exquisite sound of a lone chorister singing Once in Royal David's City marks the start of Christmas festivities for millions around the globe. This special moment is broadcast at 3pm on Christmas Eve, providing a tranquil respite amidst the festive season. Carols From King's takes you on a journey through their fascinating history, from the earliest songs sung by angels to shepherds at Bethlehem, to anecdotes from contemporary choristers. You'll learn how carols have evolved from pagan songs to become one of our nation's most sacred treasures. Accompanied by lyrics and music, this book is compiled in conjunction with Radio 4 and King's College Chapel, making it the official companion for fans of Christmas and carols alike.
