Another carol book? No, The Carol Book! The complete resource for your Christmas services
and concerts, offering not just one of the largest collections of carols ever published, but a
range of support material that sets totally new standards in Christmas publishing.
Christmas is a time when simplicity pays enormous dividends, and the top-class choir will
find here easily sight-readable material that will move and engage the listener. Those who
have to work somewhat harder to achieve a good standard of performance will be delighted
to discover here arrangements that are both practical and imaginative.
Our highest aim has been to turn limitations into possibilities. So, for instance, young musi-
cians attempting an alto part for the first time will discover some simple material that will
give them confidence and pleasure. And choirs with limited numbers of men will appreciate
tenor parts that do not go too high, as well as three part arrangements for soprano, alto and
baritone.
Our thanks go to Tim Ruffer of The Royal School of Church Music for having confidence in
our vision and encouraging us to bring it to fruition; to many distinguished writers and
composers for allowing us to include their material and for writing for us; to Chris Idle for
the biblical index and considerable help with the liturgical material; to Peter Moger for his
assistance with the service templates; to Tim Willetts who produced the synthesised backings
for some of the more modern items*; and to Peter Wright, Stephen Disley and the choir of
Southwark Cathedral for their willingness to embrace our vision and record The Carol
Collection, a CD of 30 carols from The Carol Book which thrillingly conveys the joy of
Christmas in over 75 minutes of music from the collection.
The penultimate carol on that disc reminds us why Christmas is so special to us the gift of God
himself to the human race. It is our fervent hope that The Carol Book will enhance our worship
of Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh, as each Christmas comes round:
Small wonder the love, small wonder the grace,
the power, the glory, the light of his face;
but all to redeem my poor heart
no small wonder!
John Barnard and David Iliff
*Tim Willetts is willing to do further synthesised backings to order.
He can be contacted at: tswilletts@yahoo.co.uk
The Carol Collection (order number HAVPCD 313) is available from The Royal School of
Church Music, from Herald Audio-Visual Publications (www.heraldav.co.uk) e-mail:
herald@heraldav.co.uk and from Southwark Cathedral.
