Boosey & Hawkes has published a vocal score for Christmas with Karl Jenkins, a collection combining traditional carols with the composer’s own music for the Christmas season. The publisher reported the release in October.
The collection draws on music from Jenkins’ Joy to the World and Stella natalis. It includes carols associated with England, Germany, France, Spain, the United States and the Caribbean, alongside original compositions addressing winter, peace and thanksgiving.
The publisher describes the arrangements as scored for soprano soloist and mixed chorus with trumpet, keyboards, percussion and string orchestra. Ensemble materials for performances are available to hire from Boosey & Hawkes.
The score also includes Happy Christmas, Adiemus, a Christmas arrangement of Jenkins’ Adiemus with text by Carol Barratt. The collection offers choirs a single score gathering the carols and original pieces. Another theme is the sleeping child. Boosey & Hawkes lists the work as a Christmas sequence for soprano, chorus and ensemble.
