Carols: Distinctive arrangements for women's voices

By Paul Carey

Carols is an exciting and eclectic set of eighteen carols for the holiday season, arranged and composed by Paul Carey for women's choirs of all ages, as well as advanced children's choirs. Included are classics such as Cristobal Morales' O magnum mysterium, Michael Praetorius's Es ist ein Ros entsprungen as well as beautiful new settings of classic texts such as Lullay, mine liking and There is no rose of such virtue. Selections in English, Latin, French, German, and Spanish range from easily learnable processionals and short pieces suitable for madrigal dinners, to more elaborate settings of great Christmas music. Audiences will enjoy a delightful new arrangement of We wish you a merry Christmas as well as a gorgeous, lush setting of What child is this? for SSA and harp. Carols presents distinctive repertoire which will engage singers and audiences alike - a valuable resource to revisit each holiday season.Selections included:Make we joy now in this festGaudete (Rejoice)Sweet was the song the Virgin sungJoseph est bien mari?
