The Ivy and the Holly is a superb collection of carols and motets for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany by contemporary British composers. Scored for mixed voices - a cappella and with organ - the pieces present a wide range of styles and sonorities. A great collection for church and concert choirs alike.
