Recensione:

This is a refreshing addition to the long British tradition of merry Christmas carols . . . The 7/8 barring skilfully allows enhancement of the natural rhythms of the words in this new version of 'The first nowell' . . . Conductors will be tempted with a setting that is both relaxed in effect and rewarding of the careful preparation needed. (Howard Layfield, Masteringsinger Summer 06)
