| Description:
Filmed on
location at the Dormition Abbey and on location in the Holy
Land, Charlotte Church in the Holy Land was originally
screened over Christmas 2000 as a BBC TV Songs of Praise
special. In its 48-minute running time Church performs a
selection of favourite hymns, carols and spiritual songs,
including "The First Noel", "Hark! The Herald
Angels Sing", "Silent Night" and "O Come
All Ye Faithful". These are interspersed with short clips
of the young singer visiting locations associated with the
Nativity. These interludes involve Charlotte discovering what
it is like to wear traditional dress from the time of Christ,
ride a camel and a donkey and explore the site some believe is
the very place Jesus was born. Church is likeable and natural
in these sections, and given how short the programme is it is
a shame these have not have been extended. The 12 songs
showcase Charlotte's beautiful if inevitably immature voice in
rather saccharine arrangements, including "What Child is
This" set to the familiar tune of "Greensleeves".
Fans of her albums will love this release, which is sure to be
on many Christmas present lists for years to come.
