Benjamin Britten

Chorale After An Old French Carol

With "Chorale After An Old French Carol," Benjamin Britten presents a deeply moving and evocative setting of a traditional 17th-century French carol, also widely known by the tune names "Romancero" or "Picardy." Written for unaccompanied mixed choir (SATB), this masterful a cappella work captivates through Britten's signature harmonic language and an intimate, timeless atmosphere. Published by Faber Music, this edition is a wonderful addition to the repertoire of ambitious choirs and vocal ensembles. Whether performed in sacred concerts, festive church services, or atmospheric Advent and Christmas programmes, its finely balanced polyphony and profound expressiveness will make any choir shine. A true gem of 20th-century choral music!
