Our Take

In a world filled with jingle bells and repetitive renditions of Santa Baby, the Choir of St. John's College, Oxford offers a refreshing take on the classic Christmas album with "News Of Great Joy: Christmas From St. John's College, Oxford." Conducted by the ever-talented David Banister, this festive collection of carols and hymns is like a warm cup of mulled wine on a cold winter's night.

The album opens with a stunning rendition of "Once in Royal David's City," setting the tone for what is to come. The angelic voices of the choir transport listeners to a candlelit chapel, where the spirit of Christmas is alive and well. Banister's direction is impeccable, bringing out the best in each and every member of the choir.

Tracks like "O Come, O Come, Emmanuel" and "In the Bleak Midwinter" showcase the choir's ability to evoke emotion and nostalgia with their haunting harmonies. The blend of voices is pure magic, creating a sound that is both timeless and modern.

Overall, "News Of Great Joy" is a must-listen for anyone looking to add a touch of class to their Christmas festivities. So grab your favourite Christmas jumper, pour yourself a glass of eggnog, and let the Choir of St. John's College, Oxford serenade you into the holiday spirit. It's a Christmas miracle in musical form.
