  Today Christ is born:
  Today the Saviour appears:
  Today on earth angels sing,
  Archangels rejoice:
  Today the righteous rejoice, saying:
  Glory to God in the Highest,
  Alleluia! Nowell! Nowell!
  
  This beautiful motet by the Dutch composer Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621) was recorded on 5th December 2010 in the Harvey Nichols Espresso Bar in Leeds' magnificent Victoria Quarter in the first of St Peter's Singers' now-traditional Sunday evening carol performances there.
  
  The choir is directed by Dr Simon Lindley, its Music Director since the Singers' formation in June 1977.
