Info & track listings

This CD of Christmas music was first released in 1995 for a limited distribution and we are now re-issuing it for a wider public. The content is deliberately eclectic, reflecting the wide variety of anthems, hymns and carols sung by College Chapel Choir at the thrice-weekly services in Eton College Chapel.

Eton College Chapel Choir is formed from boys in the school (with sometimes a master or two), a large number of whom have been choristers at cathedrals and chapels before coming to Eton. Many are Music Scholars whose scholarships are funded with the money released by the closure of the Choir School in 1968.

The choir is conducted by Ralph Allwood, the Precentor and Director of Music at Eton.
