Deck the Hall: The Stories of our Favourite Christmas Carols
Thursday 5 December
Castle Hill Baptist Church
7.30pm
A wonderful, festive treat which offers new insights into our Yuletide musical traditions – with a few surprises along the way!
In this engaging book, Andrew Gant draws on his extensive professional knowledge as a conductor, composer and singer to reveal the fascinating and often surprising musical stories and social histories behind 27 Christmas carols.
Many of our best-loved carols are here, including the haunting In the Bleak Midwinter – regularly voted Britain’s favourite carol – alongside less familiar works from our rich heritage of folk songs.
As Andrew writes ‘some carols were born to Christmas, some have achieved Christmas, and some have had Christmas thrust upon them.’
