The great English composers Ralph Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst wrote many Christmas choral works and carol harmonizations that continue to enrich our worship services, concerts, and family celebrations each December. Their readily identifiable approach to this music draws on their important work in the folk song revival, and they brought many previously forgotten folk carols into sacred use. These organ arrangements by Douglas E. Wagner turn some of this music into organ solos, with a wealth of preludes, offertories, and postludes.
