BENEDICT SHEEHAN A Christmas Carol In this compelling work for narrator, soloists, and choir, Sheehan presents an engaging musical dramatization of Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol. Dickens’s text has been artfully abridged by Matthew Guard to facilitate concert performance, and the narration is seamlessly woven into Sheehan’s richly diverse score. Suited to performance in a variety of settings, this work sees imaginative arrangements of traditional carols and vibrant and accessible original music combine to bring a familiar festive tale to life. A Christmas Carol has been recorded by Skylark Vocal Ensemble and Sarah Walker, conducted by Matthew Guard. Photo: Josiah Lewis Benedict Sheehan has been called ‘a choral conductor and composer to watch in the 21st century’ (ConcertoNet) and ‘one of the most important voices in American Orthodox choral music’ (Choral Journal). He is artistic director and co-founder of the GRAMMY ® -nominated Saint Tikhon Choir and Artefact Ensemble, and director of music at St. Tikhon’s Seminary and Monastery in Pennsylvania. His works have been performed by Skylark Vocal Ensemble, Conspirare, the Houston Chamber Choir, Cappella Romana, the Kansas City Chorale, and many others.
