Carols and Candles

The Christmas season is often punctuated with the vibrant strains of exuberant carols such as Joy to the World! or Hark, the Herald Angels Sing. And while this unbridled, musical joy at the birth of the Christ child is more than appropriate, so too is the focused quiet that comes when we reflect upon the poignant simplicity surrounding the blessed event. The tranquil, thoughtful carols found in this collection will afford your congregation time for this quiet reflection. Well-crafted with the busy pianist in mind by such noted arrangers as John Purifoy, Robert Lau, Robert Thygerson and others, these settings allow you to expand your repertoire without committing to countless hours of practice. Durations are also included to aid in planning.
