Well Done! Frederic C Putnam A selection of fifty carols, most newly arranged (as of 1972) by the editors. The selection is outstanding; some of the settings are "contemporary" in a way that dates them and clashes with the text and/or melodic line. Useful, helpful, but few groups will use all fifty settings (IMHO), since the taste that appreciates one type of setting will find another uninspiring.. L. Sandlin said I could use a large print edition. We are singing out of this book and I am finding it difficult to read some of the type, for example, O Come, O Come, EmmanuelI wonder if that is a font size 6 or so? And the chorus is in italics, for crying out loud. Yes, the music is lovely, but surely there is no reason not to offer music in larger print. Maybe some of the publishers need to get into the choir lofts all over USA and see how bad the lighting can be, then they will understand.The reason I came to Amazon.com was to buy a large print edition, but apparently it is not offered.. A Must-Have Addition to any Choral Library J. T. Foxhood This wonderful collection has many more of the favorites performed at King's College and elsewhere, and especially the must-have Matin Responsory to begin your Lessons and Carols service.
A second collection of 50 carols, mostly for SATB, some unaccompanied, and some having accompaniments for piano, or organ, or orchestra, or brass ensemble. Many of the carols are from traditional sources, rearranged: among the items composed especially for this volume are carols by William Walton, Benjamin Britten, Richard Rodney Bennett, and William Mathias. Instrumental material for most of the accompanied items is available on hire. Eight Carol Accompaniments for 5 and 8-part brass (from CfC1 and CfC2) are on sale.
