Qui creavit cælum

for choir (SATB) and organ or piano

Philip Mead

	…the choir enjoyed singing your carol and were very complimentary. The congregation at the lessons and carols were likewise most appreciative. I think you may have a ‘hit’ on your hands!
	—Tim Raymond, conductor

	…Philip Mead’s lovely carol…
	—Tim Brown, conductor

Qui creavit cælum is a new and very appealing (yet straightforward) Christmas carol setting for SATB choir. Using a relatively uncommon (though far from unknown) text, this lullaby is simple but deeply felt, and should fall well within the capabilities of most amateur choirs whilst nevertheless producing an enchanting effect on the audience. There is a simple piano or organ accompaniment.

	The music speaks of a salubrious and dignified creative imagination. Carey Blyton knew music’s art and craftsman’s measure and wrote nothing ugly or dull or at odds with art or craft.
