God rest you merry, gentlemen (English traditional carol, harmonised by Sir David Willcocks) 2. Away in a manger (words anon, set to a traditional Normandy tune arranged by Reginald Jacques) These carols were recorded on Sunday 13th December 2009 during the first of St Peter's Singers' two now-traditional annual performances to guests at the Espresso Bar of Harvey Nichols' Leeds store in the Victoria Quarter. The choir is directed on this occasion by its regular accompanist David Houlder, Sub-Organist of Leeds Parish Church. The Music Director of St Peter's Singers is Dr Simon Lindley, Organist of Leeds Parish Church and Leeds City Organist, who has held this post since the choir's formation in 1977. More information about St Peter's Singers, including details of forthcoming concerts, recitals and church services, may be found on the choir's website www.stpeters-singers.org.uk or on the Facebook group 'St Peter's Singers of Leeds'.  less
