Customer Reviews

Beautifully arranged carols.
I would strongly recomend this edition to anyone who enjoys singing Christmas carols, but has difficulty in locating singers for the tenor and bass lines.

There are many traditional carols: Angels from the realms of glory, First Nowell, Gabriel's message, Ding-dong merrily, etc, which are beautifully arranged by John Rutter and David Willcocks to suit the voice ranges perfectly.

In addition to this there is a selection of delightful carols writen by John Rutter, including: Star Carol (which would suit a junior choir since it is arranged for 2 soprano lines) Nativity Carol and Shepherd's pipe carol.

The carols in this edition are usually well loved by singers and audiences alike. It is well worth the investment!
