Ora Singers Mystery Of Christmas CD

Mystery Of Christmas The story of Christ's birth has prompted generations of composers to expressions of joy and mystical reflection. ORA's selection of carols for this album unveils a whole treasure chest of offerings, some familiar, some less so, all giving voice to various elements of the nativity story. Produced with the generous support of the Pureland Foundation, The Mystery of Christmas focuses on the miraculous 'Incarnation' and the central role of the Virgin Mary. Highlights include Richard Allain's arrangement of the Coventry Carol, Martin Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium and a carol by John Rutter written specifically for ORA's director, Suzi Digby.
