Karl Jenkins - Christmas with Karl Jenkins Karl Jenkins
CD edition.
A new collection of Sir Karl Jenkins' favourite festive tracks gathered together from his two seasonal works Stella Natalis and Joy to the World; with additions from Requiem and The Peacemakers; and a very special, newly recorded, Christmas version of his most famous work: Happy Christmas, Adiemus!
"Welcome to Christmas with Karl Jenkins. Some of the pieces are taken from two seasonal works by me, Stella Natalis (Latin for ‘Star of Birth’) and Joy to the World, and some from other sources. Since the Christmas message is one of peace, goodwill, compassion and a new beginning, I have used a wider palette of inspiration with sacred text: Pie Jesu from Requiem and from The Peacemakers, Healing Light: A Celtic Prayer and The Dove, the latter written for my eldest granddaughter Astrid’s Christening 15 years ago. Happy Christmas, Adiemus, has text in English, especially written, as are many of the movements, by Carol Barratt (aka Lady Carol Jenkins).”
