Burt,Alfred / Joyce,Jimmy This Is Christmas: Complete Carols By Alfred Burt CD

Considered by some to be the finest recording of Christmas carols ever, these original compositions were written by Alfred and primary lyricists Wihla Hutson and Bates G. Burt (Alfred's father). in fact, the carols were initially sent as Christmas messages to Burt family members and friends! Artists from Nat "King" Cole to the Boston Pops Orchestra and Chorus have popularized what conductor John Williams described as "mini-masterpieces." the sixteen voice a cappella choir directed by arranger Jimmy Joyce (who had worked with Alfred in the Alvino Rey Orchestra) is sprightly and sure footed in their performance, which was recorded in 1963. a sentimental and popular favorite.
