Carollers
| |? was something of a mild surprise that I realised "Viewsreel" is over @ year old, and that certain programmes recur with the seasons. Of last Christmas the pleasantest listening that I remember was the programme from 4YA of the Coventry Carollers, and I looked forward to hearing them again this Christmas. Their programme was excellent, and |contained mostly lesser-known items,
which was a relief, after a surfeit of "Silent Night" and "O Come All Ye Faithful" from other sources. I must congratulate these singers on the fact that it is possible to hear every word they sing. I will add that I thought "Nativity Cradle Song" their best effort (possibly because of the beauty of the Roberton ement), and the accompanied carols I liked least. Surely this type of music is traditionally unaccompanied, and more effective if done without the aid of a piano, an instrument which few genuine waits could hope to carry with them on their nightly rounds!
