Carols Before, Carols After (3 staff)

The carols of Christmas are so familiar and important that their Advent and Epiphany counterparts are sometimes overlooked in collections. But equally important to the Christmas season are those Advent carols that peacefully and joyously anticipate the birth of Christ or those that warmly and gladly offer glory and praise to the Savior during Epiphany! So we offer Carols Before Carols After to supplement your existing collections and to offer arrangements of some lesser-known carols for these two important seasons in the church year. Of medium difficulty, all selections are easily accessible to organists accustomed to reading on three staves, are timed and include suggested registrations. Compiled by Kris Kropff
