Keyte/Parrott: The New Oxford Book of Carols

Based on 1 review(s) | Write your own review

At 702 pages, this is probably the most comprehensive collection of carols ever! The music and text for 201 carols covers Europe and North America; it's divided into composed works and folk carols, often with more than one musical setting for the same text, with lyrics in both the original language as well as English. Scholarly notes and essays round off this one-of-a-kind volume. (Mostly SATB) (Additional shipping charge of $2.50 for this item.) (1998)

When righteous Joseph wedded was
O Joseph, being an old man truly
The Seven Joys of Mary

In those twelve days
The old yeare now away is fled
Rejoice and be merry

All hayle to the dayes
On Christmas Night all Christians Sing (The Sussex Carol)
Let all that are to mirth inclined
The lord at first did Adam make
When God at first created man
A virgin unspotted
The angel Gabriel from God was sent
God's dear Son, without beginning
A Child this day is born
Shepherds, arise!
I saw three ships come sailing in
As I say on a sunny bank
