Book Reviews of The Oxford Book of Carols: Music edition
Book Review: The historical research is worth the purchase alone
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Summary of The Oxford Book of Carols: Music edition
A firm favourite with choirs for many years, this is a classic collection of traditional carols. Width its breadth of material, notes on sources, extended introduction and indexes, it is indispensable both as a choral colleciton and as a standard reference book.Instruments & Performers Books
