The Carol Symphony By Victor Hely-Hutchinson with the Pro Arte Orchestra conducted by Barry Rose

Christian Victor Hely-Hutchinson (26 December 1901 – 11 March 1947) was a British composer, born in Cape Town, Cape Colony (now in South Africa).

He is best known for the Carol Symphony, used for the title music of the 1984 BBC children's series, an adaptation of John Masefield's The Box of Delights, in particular the variation on the theme of The First Nowell. He is also well-known for his settings of various nursery rhymes and children's poems. His setting of Old Mother Hubbard is composed in the manner of Handel. His song setting of Edward Lear's The Owl and the Pussycat was notably recorded by Elton Hayes and featured on the BBC's Children's Favourites radio show.
