In Carols for Organists , Colin Mawby has taken 20 of the most widely used carols and worked his magic on them. These are not just last-verse treatments, but complete mini recompositions for each tune.
There is an Introduction (the sort that always sounds impressive but which contains enough of the hymn tune to act as an encouragement to the congregation), the standard harmonisation, a short Interlude before the last verse, and a last-verse arrangement of great beauty and originality followed by a fitting few bars of conclusion.
Colin Mawby's approach to this well-loved music is unique: he brings new life to the carol tradition.
