Published by Geoffrey Cottrell (A0.866288). This traditional carol is normally known set to the tune of 'Greensleeves'. But here is a new, catchy and effective setting, intended for performance by a medium to large amateur SATB chorus with organ. There is an optional innocent-sounding part for a children's chorus, but if this is not available, the part an be sung by a group of sopranos (A). Starting quietly over a repeating ground-like organ figure, the question of the title is asked by a solitary line of high voices and then answered in harmony by the chorus. The texture gradually enriches and the intensity builds. The final verse features a descant part, ending the carol with a rousing climax! This carol works very effectively in a Christmas carol concert or church service.

Published by Geoffrey Cottrell (A0.866285). A joyfully bouncing new setting of 'Sunny Bank' - a Christmas Carol for SATB choir with keyboard accompaniment. This is a very happy and uplifting piece which proves very popular in Christmas Carol church services and complements a traditional mix of carols but with a new sound! The piece is suitable for good amateur choirs such as the 90-strong choir you can hear on the accompanying soundtrack. It also works well for smaller chamber-sized choirs with perhaps one or two voices to a part. The words come from a 17th century English broadside ballad and are similar to those in 'I Saw Three Ships'.
