This superb collection of 42 carols by 26 composers has been specially compiled to appeal to church and school choirs of all kinds. Choirs and those who listen to them will love the 30 new carols in a wide range of tempos and styles (from plainsong to funk), as well as twelve arrangements of of well-known favorites. At least six of the settings can be sung unaccompanied, for the more reflective moments as well as the all-important impromptu carol singing.
