Overview

Letting the voices of praise resound is just what this CD does. Performing some lesser known carols and some new ones the Plaxtol Scholars bring us warmly into the world of Christmas. The choir itself visits cathedrals the length and breadth of the land performing services at times when the local cathedral choir is taking a break. So come with us into that world and celebrate the birth of the Christ child.
