The collection of "Old English Christmas and Winter Songs" by Ortrud Hommes suitably expands the Christmas repertoire for recorder quartet. Thus, not only well-known songs such as "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" can be found here, but also less popular pieces such as "In the Bleak Midwinter" or "Drive the Cold Winter Away". All songs are arranged chronologically, modulated and newly arranged. In this way, the artful simplicity and emotional depth of the songs is conveyed.
