A Ceremony of Carols

Album by Benjamin Britten & Westminster Cathedral Choir & David Hill

A Ceremony of Carols is a choral composition by English composer Benjamin Britten, composed in 1942. Scored for treble voices with harp accompaniment, it draws on medieval and Renaissance texts and modal melodies while employing mid-20th-century harmonic colour, rhythmic vitality and transparent textures, and represents a notable moment in Britten's development of choral writing and his engagement with early-music influences.
