A Garland of Carols is a homage to Benjamin Britton’s Ceremony of Carols. Written by Anthony Bolton, best known as one of the UK’s most successful fund managers, it includes a translation of the traditional Portuguese carol "Beijai o menino," as well as original works such as "Lanterns" which evokes a barren winter landscape from which we are transported to a more mystical land in the middle section. Though originally written for trebles, the carols work equally well for female voices.
