Synopsis

Product Description
This new sequence of Christmas carols was written in 2007 by the Poet Laureate, Carol Ann Duffy
and composer Sasha Johnson Manning, and premièred in the same year. The Manchester Carols re-tell
the Christmas Story for the 21st Century, celebrating a child's birth and all that child was to become:
a man who lived by a humble, selfless creed, championing the marginalised in a society which was,
as it is now, fraught with political tensions. These carols are for everybody, the believer and the
non-believer, people of other faiths and everyone wishing to join in the Christmas celebrations.
