FT’s 2014 carol: ‘Christmas Bells’

Baritone Roderick Williams has written a new carol, ‘Christmas Bells’, specially commissioned by the FT, using a poem written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during the American civil war. Laura Battle introduces its world premiere, performed by the Godwine Choir. Roderick waived his fee for the carol. He asks that you make a donation to the FT’s Seasonal Appeal for the International Rescue Committee: ft.com/seasonal-appeal.
