4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good!, December 20, 2005
By EMTP EJ "EJ" (Washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
  
A must-have for group song leaders (or wanna be s)!
I like this book very much, even though it costs more than some similar Christmas songbooks because it contains:
A spiral binding allows it to lay flat on music stand, piano, etc.
A lyrics book allows more people to sing along than just those that can look over the shoulders of the accompanist.
Brief stories about the songs and carols (not 100% accurate, but some stories are more legend, anyway), some that I had not seen before.
Guitar chords.
A great many selections.
Some selections I had not been aware of before.
Faster, easier, and more reliable (and legal) that searching for lyrics and music on the internet.

Drawbacks:

Some selections are in a key unfamiliar to my accompanist, and me but then I don't really have that great of a singing range.
Some very popular selections are missing: "White Christmas", "(There's no Place Like) Home for the Holidays", but those are so familiar and easy to sing I probably shouldn't count them.
Probably because of space limitations, some selections do not have all of the verses that I have discovered in other sources.

P.S. Another good songbook that I found is "Most Popular Christmas Songs & Carols" (Warner Bros.) has some newer selections and might be helpful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful musician-friendly songbook!, December 26, 2005
This book contains an excellent assortment of both familiar and not-so-well-known Christmas songs. The arrangements are advanced enough to avoid sounding incomplete, yet easy enough that an intermidiate to advanced player can get through them without too much trouble. Pleasing chords. It is nice to have the words included also. I received this book as a Christmas present, but I will probably be using it well into the new year!

5.0 out of 5 stars All Christmas All in one Book, January 28, 2006
As a pianist, I have always looked for accessible christmas music to play and sing along to. I love this collection because just about every carol is in there, they're easy to play at a moment's notice, and a lryics book is included. This book is great for christmas gatherings when everyone wants to request their favorite carol. The music is easy enough, but not overly simple. I take this book with me everywhere at Christmas time!!
