Gaspard's Christmas: 4 (Gaspard the Fox)

Product Information

As a result, Gaspard is firmly established and loved north of Hadrian’s Wall and is now being rolled as an education resource in schools across the UK. Every piece of music played between 9am and 5pm is taken from the current Classic FM Hall of Fame Top 300, made up of hundreds of thousands of votes each Easter. It’s a more intimate and poignant story than Foxtrot, which is a musical adventure through the city by bus, but Jonathan’s score for Gaspard’s Christmas is so wonderfully rich and heartfelt, matched by James’ extraordinarily sensitive illustrations.
