Christmas CATALOGUE 2020 with Naxos Music Group Christmas is one of the most richly celebrated seasons . While its focus rests on just a few days of the year, the wealth of music that has been written to mark its spirit and story is astonishingly plentiful and varied.

Musicians continue to be inspired by the message of Christmas: in the following pages you will find examples of contemporary choral works by British John Tavener, James MacMillan and Sasha Johnson Manning alongside the established masterpieces of composers such as J.S. Bach, Handel and Berlioz.

The Christmas story has also been recorded in , ballet and music, in a range of expression that runs from piety to jollity.

Easy-listening compilations are well represented in the listings, including regional collections and the gamut of carols that are annual favourites, heard either in the splendour of Europe’s historic cathedrals or in the local community. This newly updated catalogue features a wealth of Christmas titles from all the labels from the Naxos Music Group.

We hope our catalogue will serve you with music that is both comfortingly familiar and refreshingly novel. May you spend a very happy Christmas with Naxos.

31 Welcome to Naxos !

Parents and grandparents with children aged 4 to 12 can now share in the joy of primary music education with their family by checking out MusicBox, the latest inspirational product from Naxos. MusicBox has a wealth of engaging activities and resources for a young person to explore – either alone, or together with adults who recognise the value of laying solid foundations for a lifelong appreciation of classical music.

‘A very fine resource, which will definitely be engaging for children, its target audience, but for adults as well.’ – MusicWeb International

Naxos MusicBox is a brand new, carefully produced and beautifully presented music resource for children, accessible through monthly or yearly subscriptions. Developed to enhance the music education of children aged 4-12, the colourful, clear design and specifically written texts will appeal to a young audience, whilst also provide parents plenty of materials and activities to try out with the children. Children can explore MusicBox, with its wealth of activities and resources, on their own, or together with their friends, parents or teachers.

Naxos MusicBox is available in two versions: One for individual subscribers in a home environment to explore on their own or with parents; and one more extensive site for teachers to use in the classroom, with a range of activities, lesson plans and other PDF resources. There are activities for younger children (4–6) based around songs, and for older children (6–12), based around the sections presented on the homepage.
