Comprised of a treble line of boy choristers and an ATB line of men and women, the Choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford holds a distinctive place within the great English choral tradition. Unlike all other collegiate and cathedral choirs, it serves both an Oxford college and a diocese. The choir is revered for the vibrancy of its sound and its artistic flexibility, performing early and contemporary music with equal skill. Composers with ties to the college feature prominently in A Lullaby Carol and director Steven Grahl has taken pains to avoid obvious selections. Seven carols are new to the WFMT library including three by Piers Connor Kennedy, a former choir member.
