Christmas as celebrated in England is a relatively new
tradition dating from the time of Queen Victoria. Her
husband Prince Albert was from Germany and he brought
many German Christmas traditions with him, including the
Christmas tree and Christmas cards, and even carols such as
Hark, the Herald Angels Sing. Philip Sparke has however used
I a varied selection of English melodies to arrange into his ‘Festival of Carols".
