Brian Knowles: Christmas Tidings / Celestia Singers & Brass

“The music of Christmas Tidings consists of new settings of some familiar words and other entirely original tracks that I have written over many years.” (Brian Knowles) “Brian Knowles has a wonderful gift of melody. All his pieces are full of character showcasing his gift for marrying text and music to create songs that are a joy to sing and a delight to listen to. This album contains pieces in a variety of different styles and moods, attractive and deeply moving new carols full of invention and insight and others that bring a welcome freshness and life to traditional texts. No doubt, it will enrich and invigorate your Christmas for years to come.” (David Ogden)
