for SATBB unaccompanied Setting an evocative text by Louise Imogen Guiney, this reflective, episodic carol will be a particularly useful addition to the repertory of cathedral choirs. The oft-changing metres perfectly complement the poetic metre of the text, and the rich harmonies and lilting melodies give the carol a sense of poignancy.

About the Author:

Alan Smith was born in London and studied as Organ Scholar at Kings College, London, from 1981 to 1984. At the same time, he specialised in composition, studying with Nicola LeFanu and David Lumsdaine. Having completed his postgraduate training at the London Institute of Education, Alan began his teaching career in Croydon. Alan first came to prominence as a composer in 1990 when he won the RSCM's annual composing competition. His winning piece, Let the Peoples Praise You, O God, has subsequently been widely performed and remains one of his best known works. Since 1998, Alan has been Director of Music at St Andrew's Church in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, England.

Review:

Reflecting on the part played by animals in the Nativity is Tryste Noel, a poem by Louise Guiney set sensitively to music by Alan Smith. This will be effective when sung by competent choirs. * Julian Elloway, RSCM Sunday by Sunday, September 2017 *
