chromaticism sail gently through the nicely
varied vocal texture. Consider this for late

Fantasia on Christmas Carols—Ralph
Vaughan Williams. A fantasia in the truest
sense, this choral tapestry of English carols
was composed in 1912 after Vaughan
Williams had completed the scores for his first
symphony (The Sea), and the Tallis Fantasia.
In this relatively short work for baritone soloist,
chorus and orchestra, we find the essence of
Vaughan Williams' style and compositional
mastery - hallmarks of a richly productive
artistic output that defined a nationalist
movement in music that continues to this
day. Centered on four traditional carols: The
Truth Sent from Above; Come All You Worthy
Gentlemen; On Christmas Night and There Is
a Fountain, it also features fragments of other
well-known carol tunes.

followed by alternating lines of the two carol
melodies which then come together at the
end. This anthem is ideal for smaller choirs
and appealing to the listener, making this a
favored addition to any choir's repertoire.

smooth flow continues as the choral
texture varies, sometimes alternating SA
and TB, sometimes divisi, sometimes
a cappella. The choral sonorities are
breathtaking and the piano accompaniment
captivating. A marvelous choice for holiday
concerts or Christmas worship.
