Four centuries of Christmas carols are represented in this handsome collection that is approaching half a century of use with choirs throughout the world. The entire range of choral expression is offered within its pages, including a cappella works, carols accompanied by piano or organ, all the way to full orchestral accompaniments available for purchase or rental from the publisher. Now available in a spiral bound edition, this compilation will continue to outdistance all others as a cornerstone of the choral repertoire for the Christmas season.
