Beneath a Travelling Star is a sparkling collection of carols and hymns for the seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany by Timothy Dudley-Smith, one of his generation's leading hymn writers, who died in 2024. Characteristically elegant, concise and rich in theology, they originate in the Dudley-Smiths' own Christmas celebrations; each was written for the annual family Christmas card, a tradition begun over forty years ago and continued still. The familiarity of much of the music also makes these hymns ideal for congregational singing in carol services and other festive occasions. Beneath a Travelling Star will provide fresh inspiration for worship and celebration at this joyful time of year.
