Composed by Jonathan Rathbone. Choral Works (inc. Oratorios). Modern, Choral, Christmas. Sheet Music. Edition Peters #EP71991A. Published by Edition Peters (PE.EP71991A).

This piece tells the story of the truce which occurred spontaneously on Christmas Eve 1914 in the trenches of the First World War. After some initial mood-setting with settings for choir and baritone of some Edward Thomas poetry, the piece takes the form of a narrative, spoken over orchestral accompaniment by a soldier who was there, called Tom. It tells how carols were sung bytroops on both sides of the trenches that day.
