Book Reviews of The New Oxford Book of CarolsBook Review: This is the best book for those who love Carols! Summary: 5 Stars
The New Oxford Book of Carols has been in my collection for several years in the hardcover form. OUP discontinued this book for a while and I am glad to see its return. In addition to all the Carols, both familiar and unfamiliar, there is a ton of information about the history of and the performance of Carols. Any Choir Director should have this book in their collection. You will use it often.
Book Review: 201 reasons to say: "Yes!" Summary: 5 Stars
Just a few words to say that this book is a valuable addition to a collection. It's a musician "must have"! 201 songs from 13 different areas of the world with english translations. 123 are composed and the rest are traditionals. All carols are presented with a historical text. Very good!
Book Review: This is the most thorough carol book that I have ever read. Summary: 5 Stars
This book should be in the household of anyone who listens to Christmas music, whether or not they can actually sing. Although I do not read music, my sister does, and we were able to learn a carol that I had heard on a Christmas CD and perform it as a duet at Midnight Mass.
Book Review: Fantastic compilation Summary: 5 Stars
A vast collection of fantastic harmonizations/voicings of the traditional and less known carols. A must for anyone who wants to delve seriously into Christmas music on any level.
