This bright and sparkling collection of arrangements based on familiar, joyous carols will serve the organist well through the Advent and Christmas seasons.
From the gentle whispers of “The Coventry Carol” and “What Is This Lovely Fragrance?” to the festive, snappy energy of “Good Christian Friends, Rejoice!” and “Angels We Have Heard on High,” these easy to moderately difficult settings are well suited for the many performance needs that arise during the Yuletide season.
