Info & track listings

This offering of Christmas music from the London Oratory School Schola marks the first full recording of the choir. Here may be found a goodly selection of music from Advent to Epiphany, some familiar and some not so well known.

The collection takes its title from the poem Bethlehem Down by Bruce Blunt, a poem that captures the very essence and significance of the Christmas story.The London Oratory School Schola was established in 1996 to give Catholic boys a rigorous choral education within the maintained system, something previously available only within the independent sector.

The Schola has a close association with the Oratory Church, singing Mass there every week in term-time, as well as other Masses and liturgical services. It is thus uniquely placed to train boys within the context of a living tradition and liturgy.
