for SATB and piano
This playful pairing of favourite carol text 'O little town of Bethlehem' and Arthur Wood's tune 'Barwick Green', commonly recognized as the theme music for popular radio drama The Archers, set in the fictional village of Ambridge, is sure to delight choirs and audiences throughout the festive season. The mood is joyful and uplifting, and the music is highly accessible, with unison verses bookending straightforward four-part harmony. Followers of The Archers will recognise the arrangement from the Christmas Eve episode in 2024.
