The collection of "Old English Christmas and Winter Songs" by Ortrud Hommes suitably expands the Christmas repertoire for recorder quartet. Thus, not only well-known carols such as "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" are found here, but also less popular pieces such as "In the Bleak Midwinter" or "Drive the Cold Winter Away". All songs are arranged chronologically, modulated and re-set. In this way, the artful simplicity and emotional depth of the songs is conveyed.
