Candlelight Carol is a Christmas carol with music and lyrics by the English choral composer and conductor John Rutter. The carol was written in 1984, and was first recorded by Rutter's own group, the Cambridge Singers on their 1987 album Christmas Night. Candlelight Carol has since been recorded by many artists, including Neil Diamond (on his 1994 album "The Christmas Album, Volume 2", Joseph McManners (on his 2005 album "In Dreams"), Aled Jones (including a version in Welsh) and several important choirs including the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It has also become a fairly popular carol for choirs at Christmas concerts in the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries.
