These two carols by Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe are in celebration of Christmas. The Birthday of thy King was written in 1988 for the choir of King's College, Cambridge. Here it has been paired with the serene and lilting Morning Song for the Christ Child for the first time. 

Faber New Choral Works introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a rich diversity of living composers and includes both lighter and more challenging contemporary works, offering a thrilling array of varied styles.
