4.0 out of 5 stars Rutter's Carols, February 1, 2007

This review is from: Carols for Choirs 3: Fifty Carols (Bk. 3) (Paperback)

John Rutter is one of the most gifted church composers working today. This book is part of a series of Christmas Carol books he has edited,and this one contains mostly his arrangements of somewhat lesser known carols. It's easy to read, clearly printed. It's a great choice for a group looking for good music that hasn't been played to death around the world.

This item was extremely helpful in choosing carols for church services during the Christmas season. It gave us a choice of several carols with various arrangements. A great choice for anyone working with church groups.
