Carols for Christmas (TV)

This program features 24 popular carols in special arrangements by Sir David Willcocks, former director of the Royal College of Music, taken from the songbook Carols for Christmas, which he compiled for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, lavishly illustrated with works of art and images of Christmas from the Museum's collections. The traditional Christmas carols are enhanced by a rich profusion of paintings, prints, decorative and entertaining illustrations from the Metropolitan Museum which are a splendid seasonal complement to the songs.
