Sir David Willcocks: A Celebration in Carols marks the 95th birthday of one of the most acclaimed choral conductors, editors, and arrangers of our time. A survey of his work, the collection brings together many of Willcocks's best-loved carol arrangements, spanning his career as co-editor of Carols for Choirs and as conductor of the UK's finest choirs. It includes a selection of his original compositions too, and gives an overview of the styles and traditions that have enhanced the Christmas musical experience of thousands of singers and listeners.

      Away in a manger
      I saw three ships
      O come, all ye faithful
      Sussex Carol
      Infant holy, infant lowly
Tomorrow shall be my dancing day
      Hark! the herald-angels sing
      Quelle est cette odeur agréable
      Gabriel's Message
Birthday Carol
      Resonemus laudibus
      Jingle Bells
Lullay, my liking
      High Word of God, eternal Light
Starry night

As an affectionate birthday tribute, A Celebration also includes specially-commissioned new carols:

     John Rutter: Rejoice and sing!
     Jonathan Willcocks: Nowell, nowell
     Bob Chilcott: There is no rose
