This book is a shortened form of The New Oxford Book of Carols (1992) and features 122 songs with their musical notation and full lyrics in the original languages. The languages included are English, Old English, Latin, German, Spanish, Czech, Polish, French, Provencal, Basque, Catalan, and Italian.
Each song is accompanied by very technical notes about performance of the work, the composers and the origins of the folk tunes. The shortened book is intended for use in conjunction with the original
The shortened version of the book was produced because many choirs found it too expensive to purchase multiple copies of the massive original.
