This--the performers' edition of the massive New Oxford Book of Carols--is a selection of 120 carols in 173 different settings. The music, which is divided into composed carols and traditional carols, covers nine centuries of Christmas music from around the world. Popular and unknown material
is included: the settings are straightforward and each carol is accompanied by a note on historical background. The emphasis is on the fresh approach to the carol, and the editors have cleared away the accretions of years to recapture the original spirit and vigor of the music. Selections from the
book are featured on EMI Classic's recordings "The Carol Album," "The Christmas Album," and "Carol Album 2," performed by the Taverner Consort, Choir, and Players under the direction of Andrew Parrott.
Industry Reviews
'just right for the ordinary carol singer in school, home, church, and/or community, i.e., for those who experience afresh each Christmas the dance-like exuberance of singing carols together' The Hymn (USA) 'if you'd like to explore some new territory for your Lessons and Carols service, then SNOBC should be high on your Christmas shopping list!'
