From composer Gareth Treseder:

The multi-talented Alastair Putt - tenor, composer, guitarist, engraver, transcriber, music editor and arranger to name but a few of his many gifts - tragically took his own life in August 2022. He was my trusted friend and colleague in the Choir of St Margaret's Westminster Abbey for many years. In all the time that I knew him, Alastair was a marvellous musician whose character was unfailingly kind, considerate and witty. It was my privilege to sing some of his fabulous choral works at St Margaret's Church, and he was always generous and positive with his appraisals of my music.

For Christmas 2023, I have written The Christ-Child Lullaby (SATB) and have dedicated this piece to Alastair, whom I will always remember fondly. In accordance with the wishes of Alastair's widow, the wonderful American pianist Anyssa Neumann, all proceeds from this carol shall go to The Royal Society of Musicians of Great Britain.
