Stairwell Carollers 2018 Xmas Concerts Programme

Here it is! The song list you've been waiting for!

We are so excited to be singing such a wonderful mix of old and new carols! Included are brand-new arrangements of both traditional favourites and rare Xmas treats.

Canadian compositions featured are Mark Sirett's "Thou Shalt Know Him When He Comes", and Pierre Massie's bilingual carol "A Baby is Born / L’Enfant est né" - written to commemorate both the Caroller's 40th year and Canada's 150th birthday in 2017.

Canadian arrangements you will hear are Terry Brynaert's "Sans Day Carol", David Rain's "In natali Domini" and many others by our director Pierre Massie.
