This book is a delightful collection of carols.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Oxford Book of Carols: Music edition (Paperback)
Perfect for madrigal or four-part singing, this book contains many familiar carols, and some that are less familiar, including Easter and Harvest carols. I became familiar with this book when we used it as a backbone for our Christmas Caroling group several years ago, it was fun to sing from, and the music was enjoyed by the listeners.

The historical research is worth the purchase alone,
This review is from: The Oxford Book of Carols: Music edition (Paperback)
This book is an excellent read. The depth of the historical research and wealth of fascinating information on the development and use of the carols is invaluable.
This book would be worth the purchase if it did not contain any music at all. As it is, the collecting of carols for this book had saved many pieces from being lost forever. The musical arrangements are very singable and allow the words to shine through wonderfully. Some are challenging others are simple. All are thoroughly enjoyable. The carols and text are a true part of the folk history of northern Europe.

Size Matters,

This review is from: The Oxford Book of Carols: Music edition (Paperback)
I love this comprehensive, informative and well-made book of carols, many with alternative music and words. As a pianist I personally prefer A4 size to A5. However this is largely overcome by the quality of both the paper, print and binding.
