A Garland of Carols

A Garland of Carols is a homage to Benjamin Brittons Ceremony of Carols, written by Anthony Bolton, for upper voices with a harp accompaniment.  The piece includes a translation of the traditional Portuguese carol, Beijai o menino; as well as, original works such as Lanterns, which evokes a barren winter landscape from which we are transported to a more mystical land in the middle section. Though originally written for trebles, the carols work equally well for female voices, and a piano can be substituted for the harp accompaniment.

Anthony Bolton is best known as one of the UKs most successful fund managers; however, has maneuvered himself as a successful composer in his own right.
