In this beloved holiday tradition, readings and musical gems combine to portray the Christmas miracle. Ranging from medieval to modern, the carol settings for brass, strings, organ, and choir include "The Bell Carol" by Stephen McNeff, "A Spotless Rose" by Jonathan Willcocks, favorites such as "Veni, Veni, Emmanuel" and "Ding Dong Merrily on High," and string arrangements by Matthew Naughtin.
