Carols for Choirs 6 cover

for SATB, accompanied, and unaccompanied To celebrate the centenary of the Oxford University Press Music Department, this volume of 50 new carols complements the five previous volumes, bringing new names and styles to the series while providing a complete resource for choirs from Advent to Epiphany. Featuring newly commissioned carols and arrangements of classic melodies, the collection showcases some of today's most exciting names in choral composition.

This is very much a book for choirs. You will not find congregational-style carols here: stick to its predecessors for those. What you will find is a selection full of 'vibrancy, energy, and diversity', using the words of the editors. All pieces but one are by living composers, mostly from the UK and North America. This fills me with excitement. Parish choirs and cathedral choirs have plenty to draw on, but there is also music for choral society, community choir, youth choir, and something more challenging for my auditioned chamber choir for the festive season. * Ben Swayer, RSCM, September 2023 *
