It seems to have been composed for a Christmas concert given in London by Morley College, where the premiere likely took place. The carols employed - \u003cem\u003eGood Christian Men Rejoice, God Rest You Merry Gentlemen, Come Ye Lofty, Come Ye Lowly\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eThe First Nowell\u003c\/em\u003e - include a couple also found in the Vaughan Williams work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis newly engraved and researched vocal score by Richard W. Sargeant Jr. is based upon the composer's manuscript and the first edition vocal score and orchestral parts issued by Novello in the same year it was written. Holst's fantasy is shorter by about 5 minutes than the Vaughan Williams and offers a different view of the familiar tunes. Printed in a very readable large size with a chorus' needs in mind, this new definitive vocal score will be a welcome addition to choral libraries everywhere. The full conductor's score and orchestral parts are also available from Serenissima Music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.05 x 11.69 x 8.27 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 05, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53099897585971,"sku":"9781608742646","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Y2N6YytUanBCbStPR1JXNjFabmlvdz09.webp?v=1772481367","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/christmas-day-h-109-vocal-score-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
