Alfred Burt (April 22, 1920 - February 6, 1954) was an American jazz musician who is best known for composing the music for fifteen Christmas carols between 1942 and 1954. Only one of the carols was performed in public outside his immediate family circle during his lifetime, but thanks to exposure through recordings on several LPs and by hundreds of performers, the "Alfred Burt carols," as they are collectively known, have become a part of the modern Christmas music canon.
Mr. Miller became enchanted with these carols while performing with a caroling group in college. He has been transcribing them for harp for over twenty years and has finally completed all 15 of the carols. Please enjoy the tracks shared here throughout the holiday season.
