What People are Saying About This

"If, like me, you have always been confused by the imagery of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas,’ you will find this book both compelling and illuminating. Gordon Giles has selected a kaleidoscopic mixture of musical settings of scripture, hymns and carols, from Gibbons to Taizé, Plainchant to Kendrick, via Bach, Berlioz, Vaughan Williams, Menotti and many others. He writes with engaging insight and perception, providing us with material for reflection, prayer and meditation."
---John Scott, Organist and Director of Music, St. Thomas Church Fifth Avenue, New York City
