The Gaily Carol Anthology
Christmas songs for ‘children’, grouped together especially to help teachers create the Christmas story. Filled with selected songs, ranging from traditional (e.g. Winds through the olive trees, Little Donkey, Girls and boys leave your toys, O Christmas tree, The first day of Christmas, We wish you a merry Christmas) – to newer pieces - 43 in total.
The tunes and their piano accompaniments have been kept as simple as possible and other instruments can be added when desired.
Yes, this is a cute songbook which is fun to teach and enticing for the children they are written for. The songbook get's away from the same traditional tunes we all hear over and over...in Christmas plays!

Excellent - a wonderful book
43 Christmas songs for children, chosen for attractiveness of melody and rhythym and for simplicity and beauty of words. The carols are grouped into sections which tell the Christmas story and end with carols of celebration. With piano accompaniments. With chords for guitar, and with parts for descant recorders, glockenspiel, chime bars and percussion.
