Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge

Song for Snow: A Cambridge Christmas

£13.99

Released: 20th November 2026. On this album there is an emphasis on recent and contemporary women composers from across the choral world, including Florence Price, Sally Beamish, Elizabeth Poston, Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Lucy Walker and Errollyn Wallen, whose music dovetails with that of John Rutter, Herbert Howells, Gustav Holst, Piers Connor Kennedy and Kenneth Leighton. Those newer carols sit among familiar old friends such as 'Stille Nacht', 'Carol of the Bells' and 'In dulci jubilo'. A modern folk classic is found in 'The Truth From Above', which Vaughan Williams transcribed directly from a melody sung to him by a local farmworker as he wandered England looking for the nation's lost melodies. A similar story from the other side of the Atlantic pertains to the delicate tune of 'I Wonder as I Wander', which came to the world's attention via a collector of folk songs in the Appalachian mountains.
